Hi all,
Not quite sure what to do for the best practice here, I am planning on removing an internal wall in my house between dining room and kitchen unfortunetly my consumer unit is on this wall so needs to be moved a few feet onto another wall. i have been upstairs and taken up floorboards unfortunately the wiring to the consumer unit doesn't give me enough slack to make this move.
I need about a foot and a half, 18 inches extra to extend all the existing wiring to enable move. What the best solution without having to rewire everything.
Would I use 40amp connection blocks (max mcb is 32amp for ring mains sockets), join new length this way and wrap electrical tape around blocks to seal for each individual flex or use individual jb for each extension.
Advice appreciated
