pebbledash to me would suggest some sort of protection required against sharp stones etc so it points you as to what your options are.

conduit is an option also.

id probably run in condit for added protection, or put armoured and paint it if colour matching to walls!

Would that be ok?

Do they do this in white does anyone know?

Thanks

Is the pebbledash painted white? If it is then use white conduit with either singles or T&E.

looks like a variant of hi-tuff,

no mechanical protection AFAIAA

Will it need mechanical protection being clipped high up on a wall mate?

pebbledash would be my concern TBH, can be dodgy stuff,

its your judgement call on outside influences.

hi-tuff may well be good enough, as may FP (avail in white), or even white flex.

its one of those things I suppose only experience on looking at it will tell you if it will last or not.

bit like trying to teach an apprentice how to estimate the age of an install.!

how many bits of string have you got.?
