Relocation of kitchen so let etc

Former Community Member

Hi all was wondering what you all do when asked to relocate sockets during a kitchen refit, specifically where you have made a joint in an existing 2G backbox which is no longer going to be used?


Do you just fit a blanking plate over, let the tiler tile over or terminate in wago connectors and let the plaster bury the joint?

    Strictly speaking you need an entire MF marked junction box to form a maintenance free connection - wagos alone in some other enclosure don't meet the specification. Arguably you could do something equivalent (but on your own head be it) - but beware that wago terminals etc are normally de-rated when used for MF purposes.


    If the kitchen is being re-fitted and there's going to be a plasterer in anyway, wouldn't it be possible just to replace/re-locate the cable run anyway and so design-out the problem?
