Found it with a bit of luck and a loan of a voltage finder. Traced the cable up the wall til it took a weird route off course, followed it back from the other socket. Found jb buired half way up the wall

Could anyone tell me how i am i best supporting the cable to the wire? Would ordinary cable ties be ok?

Mainly because theres a spare 32a in the DB
