[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 485015, member: 6969"] That looks like a proper DIY bodge. It is probably the result of fitting a light fitting that did not have space to terminate all those wires. It should have been done with a proper enclosed terminal box, and if it remains accessible, then a screw terminal box is okay. If you are not in a hurry, and are going to cover it so it won't be accessible any more, get an electrician round to fit a maintenance free junction box, then you can floor over it. [/QUOTE]
