I'd like an extra socket in my kitchen. Flanking an existing double socket above the counter are a phone socket and a TV aerial point, neither of which is used. Assuming both of those have standard metal back boxes, would it be possible to convert one to a spur socket? This would involve a horizontal cable run of 100 mm or so. If a vertical run is essential, the job's not worth doing.
Even if the new mains wiring would be acceptable, I'm guessing there is a minimum distance to which I'd have to withdraw the phone or TV cable. That might be a problem.
