Hi,
I have a double socket in the garage (it seems to be spurred of a socket in the living room, the garage is integral.)
We are putting a fridge freezer in the garage (one rated for low temperatures) and the plug will now be trapped behind it and therefore not so usable
So, I was thinking can I move it up the wall simple by putting a 30A junction box where the socket now is, running a new length of T&E a metre up, then fixing the socket there instead?
It seems to make sense, but thought I'd check I wasn't breaking any rules and was the best/simplest way to do things. The garage cable is all surface mounted (run in trunking) if that makes any difference.
Thanks in advance.
