Shaver socket cable

[darrenbgray]

Hi,

I need to move my shaver socket in the bathroom about 50cm to the right. I intend to attach some extra cable via an insulating block in the existing shaver socket box and run the cable to the new box. I am a bit confused as to what type of cable that I should use? It look as if Screwfix recommend 1mm but is this enough?

Any help/suggestions would be grately appreciated.

The cable must be re-routed to be in a safe zone. If the original cable comes vertically down, or up the wall then you CANNOT turn it horizontally and then reterminate it, I am assuming that you'll cover over the old shaver point?

The cable must run horizontally or vertically from the accessory, not diagonally, not dog legged. End of story.
