Would any of your guys actually run t&e,between the clips of the guttering,around the front of a house, porch like extension.
Seems the only way to do it,the cable would be hidden ...but...what’s your take on this.
It’s gonna be a rubbish job anyway.

Run the cable in the roof void.
 
If the T&E is properly supported with clips and hidden by the guttering it'll be protected from UV rays and also against accidental damage, in the real world you sometimes have to do what isn't ideal to get the job done.
 
wimps. drop cable inside gutter, no expense of clips, fully supported and out of sight. also gets cleaned when it rains, :D:D:D.
It’s not going in the guttering,hopefully behind the clips supporting the guttering,& hopefully if possible clipped too.
Being an experienced ,qualified electrician,there is no way I would do that,compromise is sometimes the way forward,thanks wimp

That is how I imagined it too to be honest.
I thought he meant held by the guttering clips between the guttering and the clips. I did not think there would be room to clip them under the gutter clips without the cable being on show.
