Good point. It would certainly be cheaper and a lot quicker. Not so neat but I can probably live with that.

Mini-trunking would look neater than clipped direct.

Definitely!

Run it in galv. steel conduit and make it a feature! Like Canary Wharf buildings innit?

If you go down the surface route this might be of interest. I just completed a job where I used some PVC skirting trunking https://www.dietzel-univolt.com/products/Produktdetailseite?masterartikel=036054

Thought it looked quiet neat.

That does look neat. What's behind the T&G boards?

Having almost certainly abandoned the idea of battens and cladding I was thinking of varnishing my OSB walls or even wallpapering them ...

Nice, but doesn't leave much room below the sockets for leads attached to plugs, or for those odd shaped transformer plugs. If it were above a worktop there would be a minimum height for the socket outlet, 150mm from memory of the guidance. And if a new build it would be 350mm above the floor from building regulations, for limited ability access. But that would be a mahoosive skirting :)

1. Nothing, it’s a solid timber wall. Used on a few  jobs, one cabin timber was about 100mm thick, the other two were about 50mm thick.

It’s OK for moulded plugs. Agreed transformers could be an issue. Not sure if part M applies to garden rooms/sheds.
