Got to fit some bits and pieces in my dads pub that he has a lease from a brewery on. Area brewery property manager who oversees the pubs is happy for me to do it as its cheaper than them getting other people in and I can get my old man to help speed things up.

Marstons the Brewery have the final say on works and have specified all fittings and fixtures installed must be adequate to provide fire protection and not hinder evacaution in the event of fire. The cables will be run from the DB clipped to wall at ceiling height and into kitchen area along a corridor that is used by staff and visitors in the dining room, also used by people in the 3 paying guest rooms upstairs, when going into the kitchen the cables will be directly above the sole entrance to the kitchen, hence the need for ensuring its all compliant and not a risk in event of fire.

I will be installing cables for a new extractor system in the kitchen. and extra sockets on its own radial as there are no sockets where old cupboards used to be and its now a stainless worktop area.

I guess they are already thinking ahead and the need to prevent premature collapse as the regs call it.

I will be using D-line Safe-D metal clips for the cables.

Anybody used the Dewalt wall-dog screws? they are ÂŁ10.99 for a 100 box in screwfix. https://www.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-w...self-tapping-thread-6mm-x-32mm-100-pack/4991p
not used this make before but are they as good as they claim for being used without a plug in such varied materials? some of the cheaper versions are useless and the heads grind down very easily or just dont bite into the walls.
 
Yes used them mainly in plasterboard, ph drill bit, used for quick secure of light fittings, trunking to ceilings. The thread is bulky than normal screws so they dont always work with some products/fittings..ie saddles unless drilled first.
I mainly use Resser screws with UNO RAWL plugs brilliant in most materials.
As for securing cables over doors I just use enamelled banding folded over cable inside trunking.
