Blanking plate in cupboard

[BS1981]

Hi currently trying to kit out a cupboard and came across this blanking plate it seems to be a power supply for the old boiler.


As I want to bring the wall forward 1/2ft Can I place an FCU here (with access) and run a spur with double sockets?

Also noticed an earth cable ust floating about behind the false wall running back to that plate.

Thanks in advance

Can I place an FCU here (with access) and run a spur with double sockets?

What circuit is it on, and how is it supplied right now?

How will you test it to confirm that it's safe to have a socket on it?

Also noticed an earth cable ust floating about behind the false wall running back to that plate.

Where does it go?

Is it a supplementary bonding cable?

Any sign of an earth clamp in the vicinity?

I dont have a clue mate, a spark will be doing the work I just wanted Power to that room and to know what to ask him to do and if it was safe to do before asking.

I wont even open the blanking plate I am petrified of leckie.

All I know about that box is that it used to power a boiler and that there is an earth floating behind that false wall down toward the location of the plate
