Now then!
We are getting a plasterer to overboard two walls. It's going to be my study so will need a few plug sockets adding in.
There is already a ring main present - I am just adding 6x extra double sockets sockets into it - protected up to present regs requirements (according to my sparkie when he moved and serviced my CUs).
If I want flush sockets (well - the usual 5mm or so protrusion of the faceplates), should I cut the socket boxes into the existing wall before the new boards go on - or wait until the new board is in place and skimmed - and then attack in the way I already know - cutting it out and back-filling?
All the previous sockets were boxed on the outside of the wall - which in a study - I don't mind doing if it's going to be significantly easier!
Why 4x doubles? I would rather have 4x double sockets in the ring main than two of those 4 way extenders plugged into 1x double socket! 2x doubles are going into a mini-half-height stud wall along with network points and HDMI port; and 2x doubles will be hidden by the desk.
I have posted a similar question in the plastering forum too - but about radiator plumbing placements.
Cheers
