There's also the fact that unless this cable is low voltage then the
OP shouldn't be running a 0.5mm flex through 2 storeys of a house in
place of fixed wiring.

Why not ? Can't see how it is any less secure inside a 15mm copper pipe than nailed down...

Flex is for appliances, not fixed wiring.

Cable is preferred for fixed for 2 reasons: its cheaper, and doesnt
sag. Its perfectly safe to use flex in fixed wiring, and its standard
practice on immersion heaters, storage heaters, pendant lights, machine
shops, etc.

That's true - fortunate really, as I've used it in a couple of places
myself :-)
