Random question..... There are a series of wires in my attic which are not connected to anything, the ends are taped up with insulating tape..... I want to put sockets and lights up there so how do I find out if the wires are live or not??

Lick them :D

What about using a multimeter thats how I test everything ,best wait for someone with a bit of knowledge on it though I dont want to be the cause of you getting blown through the roof :D

As gar said, Multimeter.

My advice would be to kill all the power in the house (Turn off all MCB/RCBOs in your fuse board including the main fuse) Go up and untape them carefully and make sure they are dead with the meter.(You never know with some of the cowboys out there) Then connect each cable into a seperate connector block, then get someone to slowly turn each circuit on while your metering the cables until you know which circuit is feeding the cables.
If its a lighting circuit dont put a socket of it.

Also you may find that they do nothing, maybe there was originally lights there that were removed but the cables were left.

I'm the first owner of the house, the builders semi-converted mine and the next 3 attics but there is as I mentioned a series of wires, just looped and taped around some of the rafters. I changed some lights in a bedroom below but it looks to be the same wire hung around rafters that's going to lights, but this wire is in 3 different parts of the attic so it couldn't all be for lights!? Could it?

I had thought of isolating the power completely and checking continuity to see if they are wired into the fuse board I guess that might tell if they are live too??

Holy shit there's a mini tornado outside the house fierce strong winds slates blown off rooftops trees in the field look ready to just break in two :huh:

Edit and its gone calm outside now crazy weather
