hello,
We will be moving into a new house shortly and i have a question regarding existing power points. The builder has located a couple of power points high up on the lounge wall for a plasma tv, which we do not need.
Someone has suggested we blank them off with blanking plates but this will be unsightly this high up the wall, is there any reason we cant just tape the wires up or screw into a small junction box and plaster these in or is this highly irregular and maybe dangerous ?. We want to wall paper this wall over and blanking plates wouldnt work as we are having flush fitting units in this position against the wall.
I am just concerned of any comeback also if we sell the place and someone bangs a nail or drill into the buried electrical point, where do we stand on all this, any advice gratefully received.
