I have a double socket in the bedroom, it's on a ring with two wires feeding into it, no spurs etc on this circuit it's all new.
The wires run through a hole in the joist but the hole and wires will be in the way of some work I'm doing going forward. I need to move them about 2 feet to the left, there is enough slack in the cable, the problem is the cables are plastered over and can't be removed.
Assuming I turn of the master and probably all the other switches in the fuse box, can I cut both wires, re route them and join them together with connector blocks rated for 32 amps? Then wrap the join with insulation tape, or would this be considered bad practice? Two identical joins with connector blocks, or should I be using a distribution box to protect the joins? Thanks
