Hi we recently had a leak in the shower area, on removal of tray to locate leak we uncovered hanging electrical cables, should this be secured in place or in conduit? Just seems unsafe to me

It looks like the heavy cable running up to an electric shower. (Above shower drain trap in second photo)
It’s BS6242Y twin and earth cable, and is suitable to be run in walls, under floors etc without additional mechanical protection.
Likewise, doesn’t need clipped or fixed, as it would be normally enclosed underneath the floor/ shower tray.
