Pull switch

My rewire is just about there.  Halleluiah.......

A simple query (for once).  And nothing about neon screwdrivers..............  

I have wired two way switches before but not bedroom pull switches

I have only ever seen them wired on a radial basis, carrying  the feed (neutral included) through the wall switch, and then through the pull switch to the rose.

Is it better these days to run a feed to all roses and then 4 core between switches, and a switching wire to the rose?

I would have thought so but would like it from the horses mouth.


Also


There is powdered rockwool in the loft. Do I need to excavate it around all cables so that they don't overheat, especially as the loft will eventually be boarded?    

Thanks

Thanks - very helpful.  So it's standard 2 -way wiring then.

Sorry - when I said four core, I meant three and earth (I was thinking of four wires)  

Circuit will be 6 amp MCB protected, wired in 1.5mm cable.  Supply cable length is about 20 - 25 metres.

Regards

I wall switch, I pull switch (as it happens in each of two bedrooms).

Sorry - thought my meaning was clear from my first post.
