Hello everyone
new on here ,so be nice


i have a large back outhouse at my property
that was used back in the day for a coal bunker/toilet .

this has all been removed now and made into a bedroom .the walls are solid and have all been plasterboarded .

there are 2 x light switches

but no plug sockets ( at the moment there is an extension lead plugged into a socket in the kitchen ) powering the room .



my question is ......................




how can i run a cable either from my fuse box in the living room or somewhere else .to power plug sockets in the new room ??

can i run the cable from the plug socket in the kitchen to power sockets ( or is that dangerous )

a detailed how to would be very helpfull

cable i need ,sockets ,etc etc
 
Take a cable from a socket in the living room, making sure you spur from the ring, and not spurring from a spur - then have a FCU and feed as many sockets as you want in the bedroom from the FCU in a radial format.

Livingroom socket - FCU - bedroom socket(s)
 
What's a plug socket, no on a serious note, Ans 1 with difficulty Ans 2 is it your kitchen or next door's? Ans 3 it would be very helpful Ans 4 electric cable/sockets
 
in 4 words:

get an electrician in

it will be installed properly, inspected & tested for conformance....you will also recieve relevent certification for works carried out...

this is an electricians forum....for electricians.

not a `drop in centre` for have a go hero`s and bored diyers

You want to turn it into habitable room yet you want to bypass having it installed and tested. You want to use it as a bedroom, sleeping risk. No mention of a smoke alarm which is a must in this case.
Pay some money, no offence but you need to, it pays in the long run.
