Thanks for all this guys. I think it is going to have to be a case of leaving the socket in place and running a spur from it, as this appears to be the only feasible way of leaving the cable connections accesible. The junction box idea is nice, but judging by the reaction, thats not the way to...

That would be the case i think John, as the wires head straight up. Also i the garage we had the ceiling removed as it was asbestos, and all the wires here run around the rafters.

The height of the socket isn't desperate as it will be behind the fridge freezer, but i would still need to extend the cable to do this

The wire comes in from above the socket, but I am unsure where it goes to, possibly the fusebox as the fusebox is in the garage on the back of the kitchen wall.

ok, i have been a bit vague.... I want to move it from its current height of 5 feet to a more sensible 1 foot. The wall of the recess is a stud wall, so i would just move the socket from one side of the socket to the other. So I just need to know if i can feasibly extend the cables, or if I...

I dont want to remove the socket, I just want to move it about 4 feet lower on the wall, so the cables just need to be a bit longer! I dont know where the next sockets are on the circuit, but i'm guessing they would be in the kitchen too.

I want to get rid of the socket ideally, as it is the most ridiculously placed socket in the history of housebuilding!! The socket is nowhere near water or gas, so what implications would the regs hold for me?
