Soldato
I've been topping up the insulation in my loft and now just got this small corner to finish off:
You can see the old (50mm) insulation in the photo - and large areas of bare plaster with no insulation. The yellow stuff is the new insulation.
There's a few cables in the way here. The 3 smaller cables at the top of the photo are all for lighting and have enough slack to be laid on top of the new insulation.
The large cables are for the shower. I'm not sure what the rating on the shower is but it has a cold water feed and heats the water itself so I guess it uses a lot of power. The shower will only be on for a max of 30 mins a day so there isnt a lot of time for heat to build up in these cables.
So what should I do here?

So what should I do here?
- Insulate over the top?
- Cut the insulation to leave a space around the cables?
- Some sort of conduit to box the cables in and insulate over the top of that?
