Some of you helped out on my broadband thread. This is a carry on from that.
So we've got a master socket fitting booked in for the coming week. Annoyingly there were no slots available in my week off work and they don't do weekends so i've got to get my mum to sit in while the work is done.
We want the socket in the hall but not sure on suitable location.
At the moment the BT Hub will be going on the window ledge but at some point we may get a small table for the hall.
We took photos of possible locations...
Just above the existing extension socket. The existing socket could even be removed & this put in its place i guess. We have extension sockets upstairs & it'd be great if they could connect the existing wiring to the new master socket.
Those are on a solid wall.
This next one is i don't know what. Plasterboard perhaps but it's not solid:
From reading various posts i guess we should also get my mum to make sure the engineer puts in a drip loop when feeding in the wire. Since i read about this i've been looking at other peoples houses & i noticed it doesn't seem to happen all that often. Slack workmanship perhaps.
Would any of those be unsuitable? Would they be able to work so close to the radiator without issue?
