He is correct about the old bangers in the corridor, if there is a fire they would melt & down the cables, we purchased the Hilti the other year for the flats great bit of kit unless all the stone has settled in the bottom of the milbank floor then it's a **** & you get to know the area's & just move it over.
corridor as the amount of cables we use tray then cable tie it then all round band every meter.
bought cracking bit of kit from hilti SDS bit with the setting tool as part of the tool for the anchor fixings no hammer any more, just drill pull top off put the anchor on the end put back up to the hole press trigger on SDS &N then start again great.

We have had this under the BS5839 for many years, and now its come into the 7671, and imo not before time. Many fire incidents have resulted in people and fireman being entangled in fallen cables and unsupported pipework. With data guys being the worst for throwing cables across ceilings. Plastic ties are possibly the worst cable support in a fire condition. Proper supported containment rawbolted into the ceiling will always be a best solution, but any metal strapping which gives hours and not minutes in a fire event is better than plastic.

Galv saddles is the answer.

Will all depend on system required and cause/effect requirements. AOV maybe connected to fire alarm, or activate silently on its own smoke detectors. The design can be multi smoke doors per floor and/or smoke windows.....Friday you should know more.

Sorted...fitted it today. This one was to be activated silently on its own smoke detector.

Hes one I completed a few weeks ago...10 fire doors (2 per level) cause & effects to open fire door on activation of smoke detectors on that level only, plus activate roof vents on activation of all levels
