Called to sort out a DIY botch.
DIYer drilled through cable feeding a socket in the kitchen and just missed the cooker cable that was running next to it.
They had recently had the kitchen fitted and it seems that the cooker ouitlet and socket cables had been re routed behind the plaster.
A cooker hood was fitted by whoever done the kitchen and was plugged into the socket that was relocated inside the cooker hood.
I am concerned about the moisture inside the hood, obviously, and am going to relocate the outlet as a S/F/C/U outside of the hood.
Could you, suggest the best way to remedy the joining of cable without having to rip the kitchen apart to replace cable.
I have used a chocblock and Tape as a initial solve. Any suggestions of how to seal the joint so that it will be maintenance free and water tight to re-plaster.
Suggestions will be much appreciated.
THANKS
