Hi all,
I've got a light switch in my cupboard under the stairs. Its a surface mounted box with the grey t&e cable going into it. I would like to extend the grey cable about 2 feet (no i cant renew the cable so its 1 continous length) whats the best way to connect them.?
Regards
Joe.

Take the usual precautions before working on the circuit.

Turn off the power! Cut the cable back to an unobtrusive point. Install trunking for remaining old cable and run into joint box. Run new cable (of same capacity) in trunking from joint box to new switch position. Connect light feed into switch adding trunking for this also if possible.

connector strip in the existing back box, with a blanking plate over it. Then you can re-use the switch at the new location.
