I have just bought a new fire surround with an electric fire. It is mainly for cosmetic purposes, as we have central heating. The question I want to ask is would it be ok to cut off the plug (as it is the sealed unit, for the want of a better term, kind) and then replace it with a normal 3 pin plug. The reason is I have to drill a hole through the wall so the fire can be plugged in and I do not want to drill a hole the size of the plug, if that makes sense, if I can cut the plug off, I will then only have to drill a smaller hole, then rewire the plug once it has been pushed through.
I hope it is not as silly a question as it sounds and thanks to anyone that can help.
