Relocation of kitchen so let etc

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?

    Dbat, maybe not in your opinion. 

    all joints which there are two off are all within safe zones. The actual joint is having a steel plate over to cap over the 2G backbox with a splashback MDF type panel over this. The other joint is at high level again in a safe zone which is getting covered in a similar manner. All documents will be produced along with photographic evidence outlining Cable routes and joints. I'm satisfied that I've provided enough protection and documentation including client handover and importance of keeping electrical file in a safe place for any future owner. Btw I've come across alot worse myself but agree that standards should be held to a high standard where ever possible.
