Hello everyone,
Apart from always wanting to do a job right, I am nervous of doing something which does not comply with any building regulations so I would appreciate the benefit of your wide experience please.
I have a light switch in my hall which I need to move about six inches to one side from its present position.
Having lifted a floorboard in the room above, I find that there is enough slack in the twin core switch wiring to reach the new position without a join.
The cable runs down the wall inside an oval black enamelled metal conduit which is not earthed in any way into a flush metal box.
If I chase the wall horizontally between the bottom of the existing conduit and a new flush plastic? box can I just plaster over the extended cabling or will I have to run it in a short length of conduit?
I will welcome your advice.
Many thanks
