Hi all

I need to move a couple of sockets by about 6 inches but there's no spare
cable to play with.

Is there an approved method for extending cables if the 'extension' is to be
plastered over.

No, no, don't even think about it - this where the true amateur bodger,
sorry DIYer, will resort to chocolate strip, some pvc tape and a foot of
flex buried in the wall......

As it happens I've corrected similar in my present house, amongst quite a
few other nasties.
