New socket - running cable - drywall dot and dab.

As a matter of interest, is that curved wall really 'dot and dab'??

That would be a case for investigation, it is not impossible!

Its a straight wall, the panoramic image is making it look curved, and the wall is definitely dot and dab. I confirmed.with a small cutout elsewhere.

OK. Remember the two things I said early on - firstly that the cable run must not fall below the level of the bottom of the sockets or above the level of the top of the sockets and, secondly, that the new buried cable (and possible the 'new' socket, if it is considered to be 'new') will require RCD protection. That will probably mean arranging fro the whole circuit to be RCD protected (perhaps by having an MCB in your consumer unit changed to an RCBO) - otherwise you would have to install an RCD FCU where the new buried cable originates from the ('left hand') existing socket.

Brilliant, I'll have to get a spark in for that.

To be clear, if you pit the 'new' socket at the right-hand end of the 'curved' wall, the only corner you will be allowed to go around will be the one at the left-hand end of that 'curved' wall.

Perfect. Sounds good.

Thabk you very much.
