What my point is if you cant replace leg and client wont let you channel out wall then crimp connections in a suitable cointainer plastered in wall is acceptable under BS7671 thats all being a bit of a devils advovcate about it but just pushing a point

JBs need to be accesible,not buried.What happens when the next spark comes along or its buried behind a cupboard or tiles.Do you put a notice up,access needed,electrical connectionAs scotsparky posted.
All screw connections must be accessible. 526.3 Through crimp connections do not have to be accessible. 526.3

Or a scotch joint in the wall, after all its waterproof if the faults in the kitchen, so no ingress of water eh boys and girls, also you could paint it a nice colour as well.
