Hi All,
We've removed an electric shower from the bathroom, and along with that the pull-cord switch that used to control it. I'm going to completely remove the cable that went from switch to shower, but accessing the other end of the live cable seems impossible, so I need to terminate it. As we have a consumer unit with breaker switches (which might be turned on and left by someone in the future) I've put in place the following solution: turn off the breaker (and label it); terminate the cable in a 20A junction box screwed in place to one of the joists in the loft; label the junction box with the breaker to which it connects (using permanent marker on the junction box).
Is that sufficient? Is it overkill? Are there any better solutions?
