Having at last purchased an SDS drill, thanks to the advice from the Two
Daves, I'm ready to do something about various telephone and aerial cables
that adorn the outside walls of the house. The external walls are granite
and, over time, various people have tried to attach cables with ordinary
cable clips. The nails never penetrate properly, unsurprisingly, and
cables tend to just flap around in the wind.

Plan A is to drill holes, then insert lengths of dowel, held with No More
Nails, then use ordinary cable clips, with the nails going into the ends
of the dowels.

A suitable plan, or is there an alternative?

Thanks!

Drill small holes and replace the nails in your standard clips with
oversize masonry nails.
