Hi,
Imagine a small bedroom, and a large bedroom seperated by a lathe and plaster wall.
In the small bedroom is 3 surface mounted double sockets. Put in by the previous owners electrian friend. The middle of the three has a cable coming up from the bottom of the socket box (so i'm presuming it's on a spur from another socket), and then that middle socket feeds the two other sockets, on the left and right of it.
I only need one double socket in that room and would like one on the other side of the wall in the larger bedroom and then I would get rid of the other third socket altogether.
So if I left the middle double socket where it is, could I get rid of one of them and then drill a hole through to the other side of the wall and move one of the socket boxes to the other wall? It would still be fed by the old middle socket, that's staying put.
Thanks in advance.
