Hi all
I am undertaking a project to refit/tile the entire bathroom. We currently have an electric shower which will be no longer needed. The electric feed for the shower goes outside of the house from the Connection unit, up the exterior of the building the re enters the house in the bathroom (a little concerning, although i am no electrician and just assume that this is not best practice).
Anyway, i have disconnected the shower/switches etc, and currently have safely capped of the live cable in my bathroom to allow for further prep of the room. Given this is no longer needed i intent to pay some kind and qualified fellow to disconnect this from the fuse cupboard for me.
I did wonder though, could this cable be used for a outdoor socket if done correctly? Or capped off outdoors as an interim measure until a get a spark to pay me a visit.
Any help/advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
