Default Basic electrical question

"MattP" {add mattspersonal before @} wrote in message ...
I'm installing a kitchen in a couple of weeks time and have a question.

I have to move my heater/water controller from one wall to another it has 8
wires. As I'm going to need more wire to move the box is it okay to isolate
the cable in a junction box in the ceiling void and then join the new cable
in this box?

I'd thought it to be no problem but thought I'd ask first.


So long as the JB is accesable for future inspection,then yes go ahead
making sure of good workmanship and mechanically sound connections.
Also advisble to insulation test the circuit after the described works
are carried out.

Jon.
