Hi, sorry to dig up this old thread, but just wanted to say thanks for your idea and I'm sure it will help me in the future with other obstacles. Luckily, I had enough slack in the cable to be able to take it left slightly and up to the new position, fitted my new back box and just plastered...

Hi people, Hopefully the diagram is enough to explain what i need to do. I have 5 sockets as shown at top half of diagram which need to be added to the circuit which as it's abroad it's not a ring main, but more of a radial circuit. Please could you advise what's the best way of...

[/url] Great! So all I have to do now is to replace all light fittings to take bayonet bulbs :mrgreen:

Hi folks, Many thanks for all of your replies. Gives me more of an idea now. Just wanted to see what you guys thought. It's annoying because i've just recently decorated my bedroom with new wallpaper so can't add any wall lights!!! But hopefully not to worry because I haven't wallpapered...

Hmm, i don't think the electrics are as strong. It's like for some reason when I put the kettle on, the lights dimmer slightly until the water is boiled even though the lights are on their own circuit and sockets on another. It's as though there's an overload on the system and til now never...
