any reason why it shouldn't be OK but want to check.

It's to run a couple of 2.5sq mm feeds across the ceiling of a garage
which has a room above it but where the joists are exposed.Â* Going
round the edge at the top of the walls is possible but rather messier
with obstructions and such (and would also use more cable).


Trunking not conduit if it has a clip on cover?

Either is fine but you should put some metal clips/p clips or all round
band inside the trunking to secure the cable in the event of a fire.




Last time I looked, there didn't seem to be any aimed specifically at
plastic conduit - I assume one just buys metal conduit clips that's sold
for metal conduit...
