"The thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from"! I will screw the floorboards down but use Ideal connectors from screwfix which are permanent. It is good to know I was on the right track.

Thanks for your replies. Good for safe isolation and can identify the cables with the circuits; just wanted confirmation of my plan. All work will follow standards to the letter (unlike work done by previous electricians. Notching joists, lego connection blocks covered with insulation tape)...

Unfortunately I may have to reroute and extend a number of 1.5 and 2.5 electrical cables. The cables are under floor boards so will be inaccessible when moved. I plan to cut the cables one at a time so there is no danger of mixing them up and connect the extra length of wire using permanent...
