I will be reworking the electrics in my Dad's double-length garage, because they are currently a bit of a mess. I'll be installing a ring in 2.5mm sq. twin and earth with maybe six double sockets, and a lighting circuit in 1.0mm sq. Probably an additional radial circuit or two too. There is already a modern garage CU installed, but I'll be moving that. I'm minded to use metalclad accessories.
My concern is that the brick walls seem really hard (it's quite an old building), and I don't relish hammering in hundreds of cable clips. What would people advise for ease of installation (and adherence to regs)? I'm open to suggestions, but lack practical experience with alternatives:
a. Using round (PVC) trunking, with a minimum number of screwed-in saddle clips? I've not used trunking before, but it would look the business I think... b. Clipped direct, but with some kind of clips that are hammered in to drilled holes? c. Extra-tough nail-in clips? Any recommendations? d. Something else?
