Ideal time to fit that additional socket in there too, then, ;-)

Can't really think of a use for a socket halfway up the stairs!


I can.
You have obviously never lived in a large 'Victorian' house, with 12 - 15
ft
ceilings, half landings are common and can be some distance from other
electrical outlets were a vacuum cleaner etc can be plugged into.


You took the words out of my mouth ...,
we inherited a socket half-way-up-the stairs too; it's
ideal for plugging in the vacuum cleaner and at
Christmas time comes into its one for plugging
in the hall's fairy-lights.
