    Extra socket question

    Thanks for the replies. The house is a 5 bed over 3 stories, the socket I'm extending is downstairs. It's not overly big though as it was built as a 3 bedroom originally before we had a loft conversion. It's good to know what you've both said, I know regs can have things written into them...

    Thanks for your reply, it's good to know I'm almost there with it! What is the best way to trace the cables? Will they be connected directly to the boiler connectors? Thanks again!
