Is it allowed under BS7671 to run cables into a cavity, if it is allowed is there any thing you need to be aware of? or do?

even in pipe though, cables are not properly supported.
cavity is already bridged by wall ties and whatever crap the builder has chucked in.
Used to run cables in the cavity on all new builds to get away from chasing in, back in the good old days late 60s early 70s, but I'm reminiscing now you will have to forgive an old man harping back to the days when men were men and there wasn't any 5wws :nopity::joker:
Yes Pete, pulled a lot out and made on with new t&e cable on a lot of rewires, and I would still!!, sorry madam got to tear your house part because regs wont allow it, nonsense. Sometimes you have to bow with the breeze . lol

So what happens when the green brigade fill up the cavity with insulation - that bridges the gap!
Blown insulation bridges the gap!
However the insulation in newly built cavity walls is supposed to be fixed against the external skin to prevent it from bridging the gap.
