Currently doing a rewire on an old house. Loft has 50mm joists at right angles to a large central joist 200mm. So I can clip cables along the centre of the loft with no problem. Using installation method 101 it would seem that I can lay the cables out to light fittings between the joists on top of the plasterboard ceiling. I'm using 1.5 T+E so insulation on top should not be a problem.
Normally I would fit extra runner boards to clip the cables to but I need to get the 1st fix done asap so the quickest allowable method is required. Your valued opinions would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance.
Steve.
