Does running aerial cables come under wiring regs?

[Jarvo273]

Hi, I'm doing DIY and need to run some coaxial cables from the roof space into the house through the stud wall. Can anyone advise if this requires to be installed by a professional to wiring regs?

Does anyone know about regulations around fire protection of you have several coaxial cables going from the roof. Do you need to use fire resistant sealer or similar?

Thanks
Neil

Building regs have to be complied with. Things like where you drill holes in joists and pass cables through fire barriers, etc.
The only relevant wiring reg. is the one that requires TV cables and the like to be separated from cables carrying mains voltages.
