Our kitchen has been altered in such a way that the kitchen sink now located under a double socket, now I know that you are not allowed to have electrical sockets within 1 or 1.5? metres of the sink (can't imagine why ) So the sparky we got in at the time removed the socket, and reconnected the ring by using a 30 amp chock block, and electrical insulating tape, (cowboyish if you ask me). Now I have a tiler coming in soon to alter the tiling but I need to make it possible to tile over where the socket was, obviously you can tile directly over a hole !
What I proposed to do is remove the chock block, and the original metal socket box, and rejoin the ring using a 30amp Junction box. My quandary is this, I think I read somewhere on these forums that it is not permissable / advisable to plaster over a junction box (I can imagine why!), so what is the best way to proceed.
I don't really have the luxury of removing the entire cable and replacing completely which of course would be the ideal way to do this. Thanks for any advice
