a small question RE lights!

kellykins

We are currently redoing our living room.... just wondered if anyone had any advice abour removing a wall light? we have a plaster coming next week to reskim all the walls so ideally need to get this done ASAP.. the light fitting appears to be in a random corner of the room .. hence the reason we want it removed.. it looks out of place.

Is this a simple job? just remove the light and skim over over the wires?? or is that a really blonde comment?? ah.... !!!

thanks guys.

you could isolate the cable inside a metal junction box and then plaster over it.
not best practice though.
it is better to remove the cable completely.

Please make sure you do this properly. Remove the cable entirely, or make sure it is disconnected at the source.

There's nothing worse than ruining your day with a belt from a hidden live cable leading nowhere.
