No way should the cables rest on the ceiling grid. They should deffo be supported. At very least cable tied to the suspension points. But ideally ran in a wire basket, then hardwired to the fittings. I appreciate that costings can form part of the equation. But you have to draw the line somewhere. And considering the low cost of wire basket its not much to ask for. Price no object!! full containment with plug ins and flexed to the fittings.
As said, lifting ceiling grids in the real world will tell you a different story, but that doesnt make it right.;)
 
Thats what i thought.
Just been to get the breakers, didn't realise how expensive RCBos are!!!

Iv decided to change the single phase CU to a duel split load, that way i can run the cables up how i like and put the switch drops in the stud wall. If he doesn't want to pay for that then will he want to see loads of tube!!

cheers

Well just been there again and had another look above the susspended ceiling, clipping up there is going to be inpossible, its all criss cross metal work!

Dont think i wanna just throw cable above there, gonna have to have a think on that one!
