I am in the process of laying laminate floor across the whole of one floor in my house. I have lifted several floorboards in order to inspect the services before laying the laminate. I have noted that much of the lighting circuit and 2.5mm ring main is jointed by screw terminal junction boxes, most of them used simply to join two cables together. I am aware that the 17th edition regs state that hidden inaccessible junction boxes are a not permitted. Whilst I am under no obligation to upgrade is it ADVISED to upgrade these connections before I re-lay the floor? If so, what is recommended? Crimp, solder, Ashley J803 etc?
Cheers,
Sam
