    UK 50mm (2x2) clear services void between plasterboard ceiling below and vapour barrier above:

    With current regs is 50mm enough, I know in floors they should be 50mm clear of the plasterboard, but this is a flat roof with vapour barrier and insulation above. Secondly would you agree that the cables should ideally be clipped with metal clips due to new fire regs.
