One last question, if I may. Is it OK to bury the existing white flex that was used in the external trunking, or should I rather run the grey t&e ? Some parts of the cable will be exposed to the plaster repair product. I would have to bury the cable only to find out its susceptible to drying out...

I agree, hard for you to tell but I think your input has pushed me in the right direction. Many thanks for all the help chaps. This forum is a massive help and I appreciate all the advice even if it looks like I'm spamming!

Right, on closer inspection both the FCU for the convection heater (not a spur) and socket are off the same circuit (not a spur) So going with your advice I should be able to. 1. Move single socket to the current FCU position. 2. Take the convection heater feed horitonal to new position...

I'm open to suggestions as long as I'm following the correct paths. I want to do it the right way, and if there is no way to run through that socket horitonally then so be it.

Sure but I want to keep that single socket? So if I can't move that single socket I cannot run horitonally? In that case I have no choice but to go up to the ceiling.

Correct, storage heater and convection heater. Well spotted :) I believe the two fused switches are on separate circuits (they have their own fuses in the CU) so doubtful they run off the single socket, but I will have a loot regardless. I don't mind adding blanking plates, it the single...

Different room fellas. My previous post is the bedroom. This is the lounge. I want to make sure I'm covering all bases. Sorry if it looks like I'm spamming, I'm not :-)

Hi, I would like to move the two fused switches to another wall in turn burying the cable. (See photo below) There is one corner separating the two straight walls. There is also a separate single socket. My question to you is, how do I run the cable horitonally if the single socket is...

Hmm, good call. Although, black does sound like it could either look sweet or sheet! I'll have a think about that one

Hi, I've just redone my kitchen, new worktops, oven/hob/hood and tiling. I finished the grouting today, colour Jasmine, and I was wondering how for finish off the gap between the worktop and bottom tiles. I'm going absolutely use silicone sealant I'm just wondering what colour. Is it...

Brilliant, I'll have to get a spark in for that. Perfect. Sounds good. Thabk you very much.

Its a straight wall, the panoramic image is making it look curved, and the wall is definitely dot and dab. I confirmed.with a small cutout elsewhere.

Hah the panoramic image has made my straight walls look curved. Thankfully they are all straight. OK, that sounds good, I'm happy to do a straight horizontal across and ending on the "curved wall". It was the corners that were throwing me off. If I can chase around corners then life is OK.

OK so I can't run it behind the skirting unless in some trunking) and I can't do the solid floor (unless it was 2inches deep) - how then do I run it? I simply chase horizontally (also around the corners) and bury the cable in 20mm conduit? That's a large gap between sockets though, no?

Hi all, thanks for the replies. Firstly, let me show you the length and complexity of the route. It has 3 corners, and the sockets will be about 3 metres apart. There was already an existing socket run, but it was in trunking. (Which I have removed already - you can still see the old...
