Routing cables under the floor

Hello - I suspect the answer is no, but I'd thought I'd check.
My house had alot of lead gas pipes under the floor (for lighting), the pipes were run in notches in the joists.
Can I run electrical cables in the notches if I cover the top with the metal protector cap's (those hammer down ones)? or will i need to drill new holes in the joists 50mm from the top?
many thanks
