I have a wall light on a wall in my house but want to remove it and
dont want to put another one up in its place.

Does anyone know what I need to do to make the wires that are left
hanging from the wall safe?

Cheers

Ian

Take the floorboard up in the room above a cut the cable then bare the
wires and put it on a junction box, put floorboards back down. Done. :-)
Don't put connector blocks on the wires down stairs and plaster over it,
someone might accidently drill or hang a pic or summat and go through
cable. Arrrgh!

Alternatively, lift floorboards in the room above, find out where the cables 
are wired into (ceiling rose or junction box) and disconnect them.

Trace the wires up the wall, under the floor to wherever the source of 
supply is. The floor boards will most likely show indications of having 
been lifted before, to orginally install them. Then disconnect them at 
the source.... Most likely this will be at the centre light in the same 
room.

Reason I said put in a junction box is...he might need a supply at a later
date? saves pissing about undoing the ceiling rose wires, especially if it
has a few wires going to it. :-)

...and much easier to reconnect at the ceiling rose (assuming that is 
where it comes from), than lifting the floor baords to get at it if it 
is cut off there.

When I bought this place, there were some wall lights in the living
room wired by two-core flex running diagonally under (just!) the
plaster to the back of a 13A socket.

You could get a nice glow on a neon screwdriver by touching the wall
with the tip...
