[QUOTE="Bruspark, post: 505966, member: 20106"] If the wire got that hot the last few inches won't be suitable for re use. Nor will whatever the "Junction box" is (Switch Outlet plate etc ?) Either cut (carefully) into the wall until you have a freed some of the cable and cut off 3 inches and put a new Immersion heater switch/outlet or whatever there Or As above, put a new back box in along the cable route, use that to join the trimmed back cable old cable to a new length with Wago or similar terminals, close that box with a screwed on blanking plate and reconnect the new cable to a new Immersion switch or whatever Take care !
