Very true, I should have said the tradesman responsible should come back to sort it out. Insulation is a viable option but why bodge someone else's work to make things right?
 
If your worried about cables becomeing slack and eventualy resting ontop of hot pipes put a wooden noggin inbetween the cables and pipes the full width of the gap between the joists....that way the cables will sit ontop of it,could even clip the cables to the noggin.
 
Does it look as good as this?

And who came first. Sparky or electrician:eek:mg_smile:

I've seen far worse than that. Few years ago, rewired my grandmas house and found the T&E in the same holes as the copper hot water pipes, actually touching and in places wrapped around them. Surprisingly, I didn't find any issues with the old cables before I relocated and replaced them.
