Removing a Switch

[Carlnorwich]

I have an electrical switch in a cupboard, that was used to control a water storage tank. This tank has been removed so the switch is now redundant.

There are two thick grey cables going into the switch.

One cable has two wires coming out; a red one, and a black one.
The other has three wires coming out; a red one, a black one a green one.

Both red wires are screwed into the same hole, both black wires are screwed into another hole and the green one goes off into a different hole.

I would like to remove the switch and make the wires safe. Is there some sort of connector I can buy and how should it be secured in a connector?

Sorry about the long explanaition, I would appreciate any help.

Many thanks.

Any chance of a picture? At first it sounds like the heater could have been a part of the ring final, and yet it seems as if the CPC hasn't been connected on one of the cables, suggesting a radial circuit with a botched extension at some point in the past.

Any idea whether it was fed from a separate breaker/fuse at your consumer unit?
