Hi, thanks in advance for all comments.
Im currently decorating the front and want to relocate 2 phone sockets. Ive read some of the posts on hear already but still need further advice...Ive attached some pics to support my post.
socket one, this looks like it comes from the out side wall and Im guessing the main line in?. The only thing fed from this socket is the sky link up. I need to move this as were placing the TV at another spot in the room. Would like to some how extend this cable from where it now to finish about 5metres away with all the wiring in the walls or under the floor boards. Obviously I dont want to balls it up and not have sky!!!
The socket

socket 2, i think this is a slave socket which i want to take out and again move to the other side of the room. This currently serves the internet and phone.
again dont want to make a balls and lose the phone or internet!!
- so can i first of all locate which on is the mater socket move that, then take a slave socket from there?
- is it best to move both individually?
- what cable do i need and do i wire like for like as it is now?
- am i breaking the law, or just upsetting BT by doing this?
- is it a relatively simple job?
- are phone lines best laid around the skirting board edge or are the fine under the floor boards?
Again thanks for any help....Its the first time Ive moved a phone cable so layman terms are appreciated. Cheers.
