Hi All,
1st post so please excuse the ignorance.
The objective is to have a pair of switched sockets in my loft
I recently had a rewire and didn't ask for any but so be it. I am a competent plumber in training but need some electrical advice relating to:
Bathroom is being refitted (by me) and some of the electrics run under the floor. I am thinking of finding the upstairs socket ring, breaking into it with a junction box, chase out the plasterboard wall and run a 2.5mm up to a fused switch spur in the loft and then onto a double socket.
So my query is:
- Of the cables under the floor which is the upstairs socket ring?
- I did get the electrician to run a shower cable, no longer required, to the loft, can i use this instead
Note: The cables for the lighting circuit and downstairs ring also run through the flooring and drop down to ground level.
- If i were to employ an electrician to action this what would an approximate cost be?
Cheers
Andy
