I'm spending a rainy day knocking tiles off a kitchen wall with the intention of re-plastering and papering.
A tile I've just knocked off has exposed an oblong of formica set back slightly. It's the same size as a double plug socket and about a foot higher and to the right of an existing socket.
I'm thinking a socket has been moved but when I've had this done in the past a metal plate has been put over the redundant socket.......but is this method acceptable?
Or am I right in suspecting this could be a rough diy job.....and may not be safe?
'I knew when gness said she was getting an electrician in (so no need for the thread really) that there would be live wires regardless.'
So,that's why you said 'I knew when gness said she was getting an electrician in (so no need for the thread really) that there would be live wires regardless.
Zacs....I always say thank you....and I like to give an update if I've been helped or advised on here....
I was chatting to someone earlier about the electrics and I said I would post the update....knowing that whatever I said Talbot would accuse me of lying....
So....thanks, Zacs....but best let him sleep now or we'll be here all night and I have lovely walls to gaze at........x
