true, but insulation works both ways. it stops cold getting in and also stops heat getting out. the alternative is to lag them with asbestos, but not recommended if you want to live as long a me.
 
Get the sparky to rewire your house again. Im sure he'll be happy to oblige. It is, after all, easier than slipping a little bit of insulation between the pipe and cable.

Why was it not done properly in the first place?
 
might not be the sparks' fault. wet-head may have been after.
Very true, I should have said the tradesman responsible should come back to sort it out. Insulation is a viable option but why bodge someone else's work to make things right?
 
If your worried about cables becomeing slack and eventualy resting ontop of hot pipes put a wooden noggin inbetween the cables and pipes the full width of the gap between the joists....that way the cables will sit ontop of it,could even clip the cables to the noggin.
 
Does it look as good as this?

And who came first. Sparky or electrician:eek:mg_smile:

I've seen far worse than that. Few years ago, rewired my grandmas house and found the T&E in the same holes as the copper hot water pipes, actually touching and in places wrapped around them. Surprisingly, I didn't find any issues with the old cables before I relocated and replaced them.
