running cables in lofts/roofspaces

[trefolex]

What is everybodys thoughts on how to avoid cables touching insulation in lofts,while securely fixing them to avoid trip hazards.During a recent bungalow rewire that a couple of collegues did,this was achieved by running everything in mini trunkings at the request of management.I don't know if this is a recent niceic stipulation,although that is the message that seems to be doing the rounds.I would like to know other peoples thoughts on this.cheers.

NICEIC Inspector, there was something about when you run down stud walls with insulation aswell, i think.

Same as for loft........Clip the cables to the studwork..........If you can get hold of a set of the regs, have a look at pages 265 and 282.......its explained for you there.

Ask for the reason for the trunking and let us know their reply........thanks
