I currently have 2 single sockets in my room, and want to fit a new double socket to the opposite side of the room, whats the easiest way? either:
1. Remove one of the single sockets completely and extend the cable using a terminal block to the new double socket -if so want amp terminal block should i be using?
2. Check that the single socket has 2 wires (spur?)and if so disconnect it from the single socket and wire to a junction box. Then from the JB run cable to both the old single and to the new double
Or am i completely off track? The original sockets are flush in the wall, i dont want to have to hammer into the wall to fit the new cable and box so i'll be using conduit and a suface mounting box for the new socket.
