Hi guys
I’m after a bit of advice, please.
I’m building a walk-in-wardrobe in my daughter’s bedroom and at the moment there is a double socket where the wardrobe will go, and will probably become pointless.
I was thinking of moving the socket so it could still be used or even just removing it and putting a junction box under the floorboards.
The problem is that I have found that there are 4 cables going into it.
We had an extension done a couple of years ago and I’m assuming that the electrician used this socket to loop the new sockets in the extension to and from. Ie a ring off a ring, if that makes sense?
I can’t understand why he would’ve done that though, rather than removing one cable out and connecting it to one of the new sockets then continuing the ring of new sockets then back to the original said socket?
Is there any reason why he would do that? Maybe the new complete ring would’ve been too long? Or is it just laziness n bad practice?
Anyway, am I best to just leave it as it is and not worry about it? Or should I do what I thought he should’ve done in the first place by reconfiguring the circuit?
Thanks
