Securing cables to AVCL membrane

[Thorfun]

first fix electrics has started and my electrician has been down to tutor me for a day on running cables. where a socket is in the middle of service cavity battens he suggest not clipping the cable to the battens as there's a risk of an errant screw from the plaster boarding but to run the cable down the middle between the battens using SAF clips.

 

I have done one run as a test and the cables are pulling the membrane away from the wall slightly. the electrician said this isn't an issue  as they're just there to hold the cable back for boarding.

 

 

as you can see it seems to work but I was wondering if there was another way? or rather, how have others done this without penetrating the AVCL?

It looks fine.  Does the socket on the left have enough cable?

yeah, I just tucked that cable up and out of the way. the double 'X's on the wall denote where the socket is going.

 

glad the SAF clip solution looks ok. I will crack on with that! thank you. 🙂
