Thanks for your input winston1. I’m surprised you had the time to post with checking my internet usage so thoroughly. I didn’t realise it was a crime to post on other communities as well.

Hi thanks for your reply. I plan on moving that socket due to the wife running through the chimney breast, the fire will be a functioning fire so I will have to move it.
