Hi
Mate of mine has moved a switch cable to another area from its original position. The cable is now not long enough to reach the new switch box. He doesn't want the aggravation of pulling up carpet & floors to wire in a new switch drop. I suggested (& am checking regs for this...) crimp jointing a new length of cable and sealing with Amalgamating tape.
Personally I'd pursue a new switch drop, but can't make him take up carpet & boards if he doesn't want to. (Unless my option is totally wrong?!) Would this meet Regs & are any tests required?
Cheers
