Hi guys,
I am just in the process of moving a door frame and door - they result will be that the light switch is not behind the open door and really needs to be moved to the otherside of the frame.
What is the the best way of moving the switch? It may be possible to access the ceiling rose for the light through the roof space - if not I can certainly get to wires leading down to existing switch.
The current plan is to cut the wire to existing switch - connect a new run of wire to these using some sort of junction box and then just run the new wire through the roof space and down the other side of the door. Would this work??
As for the old switch - I was planning to pull out the old wires if possible and then just fill in the hole left be the old swtich.
------------------
The real pain in that the wall where the new switch will be sited has just been freshly plastered (yes I know I should have thought this through before plastering). So does anyone know either:--
1. How to get a decent finish when filling in chasing out?
2. Whether there are paintable counduits avaliable?
Cheers
Sam
