Got a call from a customer saying they needed a socket moving as they are removing a wall ....... well actually its 2 sockets - the one to the left of the picture and the one you can see...

Both pieces of conduit have 2 x 2.5mm in them!

I didn't expect to find this in a 70's house ..... the wall to the right is the outside wall and behind the sockets is where the original kitchen was ......

Wonder where the conduit goes next?

I ran out of time yesterday to do any more investigation......

UPDATE:

Been back today ............ so I made the opening bigger into the wall:

And found that all the conduit was doing, was protecting the ring after it comes out of the cavity ....................

And one cable did link the 2 boxes together!

So all's good with the customer , who had agreed T&M for the work............. so I'll be sending an estimate later.


Thanks for the comments "team"

Probably not Ant, personally in my experience it's going to be a case of look and ye shall find, or transferring from flush to surface wiring systems, the first thing would be to find out how the RFC is wired, the right way or the wrong way makes a world of difference in any alterations.
