In the good old days I would have used junction boxes but now these

I would ask how often you need to access that junction box for
maintenance etc. Mine are all accessible in terms of the regs, and my
answer is never.

There is that, especially as I intend to screw any floorboards back into
place.

But, by the time carpet is placed on top, while it may be deemed
accessible it really is going to be join and forget.


IIRC, a junction box under floor boards is deemed accessible. One
plastered into a wall, not.

Thanks, the idea of a joint in a wall doesn't appeal! Ironically one
embedded in plaster is one least likely to cause a fire.
