I'm after suppliers for the small flat steel plates that you affix to
the top of joists to protect water pipes and cables that run
underneath. Any ideas?

Thanks. The link to them is here if anyone else is interested:

BTW do pipes/cables only have to be protected where they run through
joists? What about where they run between joists, under the
floorboards?

little tip, put some round insulation on the pipes where they run through or
over the joist or wherever they actually touch wood, this tends to help
stop the pipes creaking, clanking and clicking when the heating systems on!

Carpet off-cut or some other piece of fabric often used for this.
