Tiling over electic cables

Post by ajay »

Hi

I want tile the floor in my en suite but when I removed the the cork tiles i found some electric cables coming through the floor and under skirting (see photos)

Any ideas what to do? Should I tile over them, have them moved or something else?

certainly do not tile over...

Ideally they'll need to be re-routed.

I'd be questioning the age of the electrics given the above pics. Probably time to get a periodic inspection report..
