I've found a few connections in my house consisting of choc blocks wrapped in insulating tape - one in the loft (it looks like the bathroom light was moved half a metre or so, necessitating an extra length of cable), and one in the shower casing(!), (extending the existing mains cable a few inches so it reaches the connectors).
I'm planning on ordering covers for the existing choc blocks, and also adding one of my own (when the new kitchen was fitted, they left a loose plug socket - I need to move it a foot or so to the left so I can box in the pipes and mount it to the top of the cabinets.)
My question is: what are the correct ratings for choc blocks in different situations?
Both the ones I've found are 30A blocks - is this anywhere near correct?
I have my suspicions after seeing the insulating tape bodges!
