"If a cable is run outside of the zones shown with green and blue then it must either be buried to a dept of 50mm or more below the finished wall surface, or comply with regulation 522-06-06 parts (i), (ii), & (iii)" So according to that, if I remove the polystyrene and ensure the vertical...

Thanks, I'll look into that. I must admit I'd never heard of safe zones. I thought lighting wires came down from the ceiling and sockets came up from the floor and that was the basic rule.

Yes I did read your old link Yes I am bothered about the regs otherwise I would have gone straight ahead and done by now, so there's no need for the aggresive sarcastic tone. I have listened to your advice on what my original question was about. But you haven't come up with a viable...

I have no idea where the cables are currently. As you can see from the first image I've added above, they are loose and on the opposite wall, where there is another socket, at skirting level. So at some point they either move down or slope down. It's not ideal, but it's what i'm left with!! I...

Yes there is RCD protection I ideally don't want to use a blank plate as it's in the middle of a bedroom wall (there used to be fitted wardrobes up to that point) and I want to wallpaper over it all when done Here's where I'm at...

They are both coming from the right at chest height and I'll be running the extention straight down to the skirting. All of the walls are stud with plasterboard covering

Hi, I have a socket half way up a cavity wall which I wish to move nearer the floor, but the cable is not log enough to move down. It has 2 wires of each colour going into it. Can I use a 30A connector block with both sets of wires going in and run a single mains wire, behind the wall...
