Greetings all, Could I seek the expertise of the list re moving some 13A sockets please...
Situation is a breakfast room in a 1950's house. 'Pre-extension' this was the kitchen and therefore the rooms' two double 13A sockets are at 'worktop height'.
I'd like to drop these nearer to the floor. I don't know at the moment how the cable is located in the wall - conduit, or just buried in the plaster (but I suspect the latter).
Q: The wisdom (or otherwise ;) of burying a small junction box at the location of the existing socket to add a short drop of new cable, and plastering over it. Or is it wise to trace the exisiting cable back to it's start and install a complete run of new cable (presumably from the floorspace above)?
