If you use connector strip, wrap it well in insulation tape and then plaster over it. Same with a crimped joint (which is the correct way). Strictly speaking, you shouldn't plaster over it with connector strip but that is only because you can't see where a mechanical joint is then! You know where is, so if there is a problem you know where the trouble will be.
Thousands of houses have them in the wall all over the country, so don't worry about it.

haha, the phone number you need is 999 & just ask for the fire brigade & make sure your spurs don't get caught on the way out :T

Oh and so all of a sudden the blanking plate solution is an acceptable proposition is it?

I thought that when he said 'platered' he was only hedging his bets between 'plated' and 'plastered'

It would be tricky to fit one of those inside a standard switch back-box or anywhere on the wall inconspicuosly!

Here is Part P:

<quote>
Requirement

Design and installation
P1. Reasonable provision shall be made in the design and installation of electrical installations in order to protect persons operating, maintaining or altering the installations from fire or injury.
Limits on application
The requirements of this Part apply only to electrical installations that are intended to operate at low or extra-low voltage and are:
(a) in or attached to a dwelling;
(b)in the common parts of a building serving one or more dwellings, but excluding power supplies to lifts;
(c) in a building that receives its electricity from a source located within or shared with a dwelling; and
(d) in a garden or in or on land associated with a building where the electricity is from a source located within or shared with a dwelling.
<end quote>


Now, whether or not the work needs to be notified is another matter entirely, but if the work is electrical, and within a dwelling, then Part P applies.
