loft Conversion

[shiner]

Hi everyone,

I have just got back from my friends place, he is doing a loft conversion. i noticed that he has run the new wiring for the lights and ring main out. but my concern is that he has run it under the new joist and on top of the insulation. For the lighting circuit it is between the insulation and the eves of the roof.
I thought you had to run the cable clipped to the joist and drill a hole through where required and to keep it away from the insulation.

i thought i should just check before he got to the point of no return.

Thanks

Could I also point out that you are NOT ALLOWED to drill holes in any beams that support roofs, and that includes the rafters...

Not saying you're wrong, but can't say that I've ever seen that on paper anywhere. As others have said, its all down to common sense.
