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?

    The joint has been made in where the 1st RFC outlet was, the client has what looks like a work surface in place where you would normally find a tile splashback. 

    The kitchen fitter has cut a 2G gang hole thinking that there will be an outlet here when I'd already told him to just board over the back box (tested RFC of course) he's now telling the client that he has concerns over just covering the live cable which are terminated in Wago connections. The joint would have been 200mm above the sink location so I don't think I know of anyone that normally starts to drill in that location.
