    Cable running close to central heating pipe, de-rate it?

    Evening, I’m normally an industrial electrician so never work in houses, but something I’m wondering about: If you run a cable through space between ceiling and floorboards, do you de-rate the cable for ambient temperature if there are un-insulated pipes sharing the space?
