We have 2 light fittings against the wall that we would like to remove, and plaster over the walls. How do we bury these wires in the walls. Could we just tape them up with electrical tape?
It is good practice to remove as much redundant cable as possible but in some circumstances this can prove difficult or inconvienient.
In this case just make sure the cable is completely dead and cut back as short as possible.
If I leave a cable in place which is disused then I twist all the cores together to prevent it accidentally being reconnected, leaving a live end in the wall.
