The shaver socket was just removed from our bathroom, and an earth cable from the floor below was found coming up into the shaver unit. On inspection there were six earth wires within the sleeving.
Couple of questions...At the moment as a temporary measure a junction box has been put in. What's the best permanent solution for this? It's going to be covered by a very large mirror so is basically accessible.
The other question is why are all the earth wires going UP in the house?? This is a townhouse and it seems strange that all the earth wires are sent up to the top floor bathroom where it joins the earth circuit for the top floor lights via the shaver socket.
Here's a picture:
Thanks,
