Hi Guys,
We recently had our boiler replaced with a combi and I'm looking to remove the old airing cupboard where the tank used to be. One of my (many) issues is that the supply for the old immersion heater is still in there and live.
After telling me it was still live the plumber recommended to tape it up and stick it in the floor - at which point I regretted hiring him.
He'd left it live into an old switch box attached to the cupboard, and at the moment I've just flipped the breaker at the CU, but I'd like at the minimum to disconnect the wire at the CU end and label up each end of the wire before sticking it under the floor.
Am I naive in assuming I can just flip the main breaker and unwire it from the CU? Or should I get an electrician in?
