Plastic cable clips!

Are they completely banned now? What about vertical switch and socket drops which will be plasterboarded over? Would this situation be exempt?

    What about an inflammable means of support attached directly to a flammable surface? 




    You have to be careful with your use of terms - unfortunately 'inflammable' means the same as 'flammable'. What you mean is "a non-flammable means of support" (which I admit is obvious from your following sentence). I just raise this to make sure you don't accidentally specify an inflammable means of support and have no recourse when wood is used.

    (For information: inflammable = something which can be inflamed (set fire to) and flammable = something which can burn)

    You may think this is being pedantic, but if the wrong word is used in a specification it can be a problem and the lawyers are far more pedantic than I am.
