Hi All, I'm fitting laminate flooring and need to fit a floor plug socket.
I've got the old laminate up now, and there's two holes in the main flooring boards and I can see about 2ft of crawl space below it.
I was going to spur off from one of the wall sockets, however there's also wiring running in the crawl space, and I was thinking it would be a hell of a lot easier for me to break into that, fit a bell housing junction box, and spur from that to the location for the floor socket?
My only concern is that I'm not sure what that wiring is for? As it seems to run accross the floor from wall to wall in the centre of the room, therefore it can't be the ring main?
We also have an outside garden room with its own seperate isolation unit, therefore I'm wondering whether it's feeding that?
Can I spur from that if it is going to the garden room?
But again I'm not even sure if it is feeding the garden room. I have no idea what it's feeding unless I lift the whole lot of the flooring up!??
