Re-wiring of the house with suspended timber floors

Hi guys, We are going to re-wire our house which is an old semi-detached Victorian house with a really old wiring. We are starting with the living room re-wiring, and have a question: - do we need to isolate the wire into a conduit and should it really be more than 5cm away from the wooden joist? If we do isolate it, it should be metal conduit that we need to use? And if we use metal conduit, can we just adjust into the joist, and not drill the joists to have 5cm away from the wooden floor? Your advice would be really helpful, as we are stuck with it. I've read building regulations and requirements, but it's still not 100% clear :) Regards, Violeta
