I'm renovating a bathroom in an old house. It currently has a single light/ceiling rose. The ceiling is in a bad way so we've created a suspended ceiling (ie, lowered it a little bit by creating a timber frame to be plasterboarded).
I want to install 4 downlights. The easiest thing would be to just run a new cable from the exisiting rose (or a JB) into the first downlight. I've done this before but it doesn't seem to comply with regs as the JB is inaccessible. It's in the void between the new ceiling and the old ceiling and can't be accessed either from above or below.
What exactly is the 'proper' way to do this?
Whenever I've done inaccessible joins before that are behind plasterboard I've always soldered and heat shrinked but I've only done that when joining two cables. This is a bit different and I don't see an easy way to solder and insultion all these joins.
