Been asked to install some smoke alarms - all to interconnect wirelessly, over 4 floors.
Have put in the cable as the landings and stairwell were going to be carpeted, and routed the cable to a nearby JB (in a room without carpet at the moment). JBs under floorboards have a number of wires entering from all four directions, I would usually swap this out for a wagobox (or similar) but in some cases there isn't enough slack on the cables to make this work.
Tempted to just wire into the JBs, as they've probably been there for over 30 years without any problems and mention something about the JBs in the cert.
What are my other options?
