Have read conflicting guidance over junction boxes under floorboards
Hawk : The junction box is inaccessible under a floorboard, breaks regulations and should not be used. Always use an FCU instead or spur off an existing power socket.
Dove : Junction boxes under floorboards are fine. Just make sure they are attached to the joist not just hanging in mid air. Also try not to take two spurs from one box.
How can these two views be reconciled? Have regulations changed w.r.t. junction boxes? Are their different regulations for new build versus old build ?
