When I redid the CH/HW controls and wiring recently I ran heat resistant flex (1x5 core and 1 x 3 core) from the airing cupboard down to the wiring centre by the boiler. a run of about 12m .
It did lead me to wonder about the use of flex for fixed wiring and how acceptable it is? Can't see any reason why not of the top of my head, though I can see why T&E is preferable in general
