Hi Everyone,
I'm planning on doing a DIY re-wire of the house I've just bought.
I'm working though the finer details of where and how the cables are going to be run and I've got a couple of questions:
Do cables run under the first floor floorboards that are laying on the ground floor ceiling count as clipped direct even if they're not actually clipped to anything (there's no insulation)?
On the ground floor where there is a suspended timber floor, the existing cables are just lying on the compacted earth. Is this acceptable and does it count as clipped direct? Or should I clip the replacements to the underside of the joists (again there's no insulation)?
thanks
stephen.
