Electric wires

[Tweezer]

Hi I have removed an old water tank and am now left with lots of live wires which I no longer need which used to feed the pump etc. I can’t remove at source as the wires go under a laminate floor so is it ok to put the wires in a
Wago terminal which is accessible under the floorboards?

It's not apparent what you want to put into the Wago Terminal from the photo? Is it serving anything else? Is it Still live?

When you say you can't remove them at source do you mean there are junction boxes under the floor and they are connected with still-needed circuits?

Ideally you should find out where they come from and try to isolate at that point. As always be very careful when doing this. Best option is always to switch off all power, but if not you really need to follow the proper procedure to verify that an isolated circuit really is dead first, and that means having a safe and reliable voltage tester (not a neon screwdriver or multimeter!) that you can check is working before and after "proving" the circuit is dead.

there are 4 wires, one runs back to the main electric box in the hall but I’m struggling to identify which one it is as it runs inside walls, the other three used to feed timer, pump etc and run under laminate flooring and through walls so I’m not sure if they are dead or come off a live junction box?

Are you saying you have decommissioned the whole system? If so, was it fed from a fused connection unit aka spur box, or other form of isolator? Has that also been removed?

Then you need to test and trace the wires to establish where they are fed from and isolate them properly.

If you can't do this then you should get an electrician to do this.
