Would the same prinicple apply to cables e.g. cooker and kitchen sockets?

My problem is that I have a Barrets home, and so the floorboards are made of
chipboard and the've used 6" nails to secure the boards down. It has been
impossible to lift the board for the sockets without breaking it, if I've
got to replace the whole cable that's a lot of destructive work. Plan B is
to use a router to cut around the nails and replace with screws.

Any giudance appreciated.

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 NOT advisble to insulation test the circuit after the described
works
are carried out.
