Hello. I would appreciate any help on this as i am concerned what this could be and any potential hazards this wire may pose.
I was having a spring clean underneath my nans sink unit in her kitchen and found this really long green and yellow wire. I examined the wire and it has a silver tag attatched to it saying electrical wire do not remove but i'm very concerned because this wire was literally hanging out of the cupboard underneath the sink and isn't connected to anything. It looks like it was originally connected to the wall at the back of the sink (i am only presuming this) as there's a rusted part on the end of the wire with a very rusty nail/screw sticking out of it.
I got my torch and had a further look under the sink and i found a second wire which is attatched to the pipes under the sink and this wire also has the same silver tag attatched to it. Thankfully this wire is not lose.
My nan has never had any electrics over there that she knows of, no dryers, sockets, washing machines etc on that side of the room and i cannot find a switch of any kind. She's never had waste disposal under the sink or a automatic washing machine so it can't be from this.
Does anyone know what this wire is and should i call in a electrician?
I will try and attatch a pic of the wire that's hanging down best i can.
