Hi Everyone,
This is my first time posting and would like to advice and help moving a light switch to the other side of a door in the same room.
So far I have taken the light switch off the wall and there are two cables coming into the switch. Each cable has only two wires, a red one and an unsheathed, I assume that the red one is live and that the other is the earth wire.
Can I simply trace the wire back up the wall, which is under the plaster in a metal tube, move it around the door frame under the plaster. At the point it ends I plan on adding a junction box with a blanking plate and extending it down the wall to where I want to locate the new switch. Is this possible to do? If so how to I wire the new switch into the old wiring?
Thanks for all your help,
Martin.
