Running ring final cables in loft eaves

[TomDorset]

Hi All. I am wiring a loft conversion and want to avoid covering cables in the insulation. I can clip the cables to the studs on the other side of the wall in the zone parallel to the socket outlets. Is this sensible thing to do or would you rather run in the holes through the joists and apply derating factor of 50%?

your method is the best way.

Least work, least worry, least amount of calculations...i like your way too.

Safe zones for the cables only extend to 50mm from the wall's surface in the room. On the back side of the wall, you can surface run the cables where you like.
