Hi all,
I'm in the process of renovating the bathroom. There is an electric shower I have removed and won't replace. The cable is not practical to remove.
To make this redundant circuit safe, what is the best way to cap off in the CU? I plan to label it too, both in the CU and at the other end in the loft. This end originally ran to the isolator in the bathroom, which is now removed. The final couple metres cable from the isolator to where the shower was, is deep in the wall so can this just be cut back and buried?
Someone else said to terminate the old cable to earth bus in the CU but I've never actually seen that done before, having looked at many CUs in older properties with redundant circuits..
