Is there any reason a circuit fed in t&e, protected by an RCBO,  can not be clipped to a accessible surface feeding a socket

    If you do need to design for that situation, consider steel conduit, also OK on a surface,

    but for the OP yes it is perfectly OK to have  T and E or even flex suitably clipped.  As others have said ‘other factors’.

    The nice thing about clipped direct is that as the route is not concealed, there is no need to follow lines of least surprise, so you can have cable routes that say ‘hello mother’ in arabic script if you wish.
