I`m confused , is this assuming the child can take the protectors out themselves ??

I may be wrong but im sure there is a design fault with them in that they can fit one pin of the protector into the earth thereby making everything live.

Nonsense. Its perfectly acceptable under the 17th provided, of course, that appropriate testing is done. You keep peddling this untruth for some reason.

Under the 17th a junction box should be accessible for inspection and can not be buried within a wall.
I am not peddling this untruth but if you can quote me the exact reg I can check it myself.

It ain't me who thinks it acceptable to super glue something over the socket.;);););)

Did your sparky mate do your conservatory too?

OK then I said:

If, however, you were planning on plastering over (I know you aren't but for completeness) then a connecting block or junction box would not be allowed and the wires would have to be properly crimped and insulated prior to being plastered over.

Please note the bits I've bolded.

I would not plaster any electical joints into a wall if you do not want the sockets any more, this is not an acceptable method of installation. Remove the cables and terminate within a junction box within the floor void

again please note the bit I've bolded. To which I replied:

At no time have I suggested plastering over a junction box in fact my earlier post specifically says this would not be allowed.

This is not the first time you have said that properly crimped and sleeved joints can't be plastered in. The untruth you are peddling is that such isn't acceptable - but it's absolutely nothing to do with junction boxes or siimilar. Its perfectly acceptable under the 17th and with respect, you have been told this several times before by more than one qualified sparky.

No, but give me your details, he can probably rewire you

And on a serious note point me in the direction of one post of yours that is intended to actually help someone, I don't understand why you are here, you seem to have nothing to add?
