Multiple Electric Velux Windows

[mk1rob]

Hi,

I've got a customer that has had 7 electric Velux windows put in an extension. Each one comes fitted with a 3 pin plug. Normally I would cut the plugs off and extend the cable with a maintenance free JB down to a FCU at socket level. The customer is adamant he doesn't want that many FCUs cluttering up the walls and doesn't want anything visible up near the windows either. Its one of them "i'll just get the magic wand out" situations.

Seriously though, is there anything I can do to get around this and keep him happy or is it just a case of having to put up with the FCUs?

Thanks

Cant you run the cables up into the loft, or are these on an insulated sloped roof?

Its a sloped roof unfortunately.

Is there a small ceiling void or is it full height slope?

Dedicated 6a circuit and one DP switch?
