I bought polystyrene insulation sheets about 2 weeks ago from Wickes - B&Q also sell it... it has been treated with a fire retardant material but it is still flammable and will give off fumes.
Polystyrene tiles are illegal - as well as the fumes they melted and hot plastic/burning bits dropped onto people trying to escape/firemen...
I was worried about that and I spoke to building control about it - it shouldn't be used in living areas unless suitably enclosed but it is ok to use in my situation as it is separated from the habitiable area by the plasterboard wall...as it would be ok to use as loft insulation...
Most fires start in living areas (apparently).

spiro wrap is the sensible answer. easily fitted without having to disconnect cables. you can buy short lengths sold as cable tidy, usually used for the rats nest of cables behind TVs.

what reference method would you put on certificate for this job?

Fantastic News...saw the spiro wrap posted before and it looked quite serious stuff -but now I know exactly what you mean and I even have some somewhere (used to be behind an old computer) - think it came from poundland(!)..but I guess it will still be ok...
(and it will look more professional than a bit of old milk bottle!)
Thank You all!

Damn, I was waiting for the discussion on whether you would be best using semi skimmed, skimmed or full fat.
