Cables Screeded into Floor

[Dave W]

What's the best way to terminate cables buried in the floor ?

I've just looked at a job were a wall's being removed, the socket built into the wall is on a ring main and the cables are buried in the floor. As above, what's the best way to terminate. Any advice greatfully accepted.

Can you not trace them back and disconnect them? Then run a new piece of cable to reinstate the ring

I don't think screeding a joint into the floor is a good idea

you could fit a K/O box in the floor with a metal cover plate cut to fit flush with the floor. then use M/F connectors in the box.

How about a floor mounted socket?

 

[telectrix]

good idea, but not in our gaff. her indoors would trip over a dead match.

I was thinking of the type set INTO the floor, not mounted on it. lol

 

[telectrix]

yes but there'd be a plug and flex in it. LOL.

For goodness sake, install a new leg for the RFC, join it under the screed indeed!!!!!!

No idea!! As i wouldn't contemplate or allow any cabling within a floor screed unless it was contained in a point to point conduit system or ducting!!
