As part of smartening up a spare bedroom I'd like to recess an electrical socket and have the electrical cable chased into the wall.
I'd get somebody in to do this but I'd like to be clear about what is possible and how things should be done before I start asking for quotes.
My worry is that the wall seems to be a single breeze block construction (1950s flat) and as the room on the other side of this wall has been newly skimmed and finished I want to avoid anything going right through the wall and affecting it.
To be clear - the breeze block seems rather thin. When a socket in an adjoining room was being (amateurly) recessed it caused some damage to this wall (not an issue as the damaged wall will be skimmed).
There is also an electrical socket and cabling running along another external wall however this wall is much thicker and I don;t believe there should be any complications for this.
Any advice or thoughts to get this going would be very much appreciated!
Many Thanks!
Here's a pic of the wall in case it helps at all:
