hi everyone,got a bit of a problem.ive got wall lights that i no longer want,my question is can i remove lights tape up wires and hide behind plasterboard or do i need to call in a sparkie to strip out wires which will be a pain cos just decorated

No need to strip out the wires, but don't leave them live behind the plaster board. Find out where they are fed from & disconnect them.
