MOVING sockets in the kitchen
Me again.
With all the regulations am I allowed to simply move sockets/switches in the kitchen? - I am not adding spurs or so - simply relocating sockets. We will take plasterboard walls down and then sockets/ switches will be dangling in the air obviously in need of fixing somewhere else. May I shorten an exiting cable ? May I extend an exiting cable ? After the work is done I'll have a leccy coming in in connection with relocating an outside meter box. The reason for all these questions is because I have got a quote of a little over 2500 GBP for moving about 5 sockets, - shifting the CU 1/2 meter to the left and reconnecting the wiring to the outside meterbox after the supplier has moved it less than a meter. - I though that was a bit expensive and want to do as much as I can myself - I have wired a whole loft conversion already ( 8 double sockets and some1, 2 and 3 way switches) - so I need a leccy to test and issue a minor works certificate for that as well. BTW how much can I expect to pay for that ? Cheers Larry |
