I have some cables running across a heating flow and return. What would you do to protect them? They are first floor joists that they running in by the way. Thanks.

Piece of wood.
Or insulate the pipes
Brilliant, thanks for that!

If the cable 'has' to cross the pipes, it's obviously better if the cable is beneath the pipes (heat rises).
If the pipe is up against the floorboards and difficult to get insulation right around the pipe, loop the cable down a bit away from the pipe.
Otherwise, a bit of carpet or something between the cable and the pipe is all you need.
