Removing electric towel rail

[Bens_Dad]

Hello folks,

I need to remove an electric towel rail to replace with one attached to central heating. Looking for some advice on how to leave the electrical connection safe. We will be having the room remodeled in 12-18 months so just want a temporary but safe fix till then.

The rail is fed from a fused switch in the airing cupboard and has a timer switch on the wall. I've not had chance to investigate yet but anticipate its a spur.

My plan is to end up with:
- switch fuse removed
- disconnected cables to the timer left in a connector block (both screws tightened onto conductor) and wrapped in electrical tape
- timer switch face replaced with plastic blanking plate

I'll probably leave a sticker over the fuse switch with "Do Not Turn On" in big letters as an additional measure, but is what I am suggesting above a safe way to leave things?

Thanks,

Can you not leave the fused switch where it is?

Just disconnect the outgoing cable from it.

You know, that does sound a lot more straightforward
Thanks!
