OK, so as mentioned in this thread I am removing a wall that turns out to have in it the mains cables.
I think I have 2 options:
1. Remove all the wall and leave the cable "hanging" while the rest of the room is renovated - this is a walk through corridor ... then move it into the new stud wall when that is built
2. remove all but the bit of the wall with the cable, carry on renovating the room, and then build the new stud wall, then disconnect cable and move across to new wall.
Option 2 sounds safer, but maybe will make things trickier.
Basically, the new stud wall will run parallel to the right hand wall to make a corridor, and go almost to the existing wall (that WC door is thin, new door will be wider), coming towards you in the photo
