Do I need to use trunking ?

I guess this boils down to whether you can run electric cable through the pink fluffy stuff without shielding . So what do the regs say about it ??

You can, but you will need to derate the cable when doing calculations

Nice!!
Google says if the cables are not more than 50mm in the wall they should be mechanically protected and/or backed up by RCD. Since the cable is just behind the plasterboard and curvy it is RCD protected at the CU and we are going off a fused spur I’m going to assume plastic trunking just behind the plasterboard will be ok.

Why are you not asking your electrician.

Whats the loading of this mat ? Has your electrician said its ok to spur off the ring?

As above, just give your sparky a quick ring. You'll have the correct answer in less than 5 minutes. Can't see why you're spending time asking on here. Are you doing the job yourself? Best to be honest if you are.
