I have a customer who wishes to remove the redundant storage heater points and plaster over. The house has recently had a new CU (not by me) and and gas central heating and the now redundant storage heating cables are left gently blowing in the wind in a cupboard. Wrapped in duct tape. Nice. Instinctively I do not like leaving redundant cables lying about and I certainly don't like finding them. However, as I will be able to identify both ends of said cables what is the general view to cutting them off in the cupboard and plastering in the old storage heater points?
Agree, burial and abandonment is IMO fine provided that the supply ends are cut off short to prevent any ill informed attempt at re-use. The load ends would preferably also be insulated before burial, "just in cases"
