Yes that's just the sort of thing. Its just that I rarely get a single socket they always seem to be doubles.

I did a job like this recently and use a pvc double box over an existing single:

I see you have used pvc fixings over that door.

Perhaps its not an escape route

Good point. This went in just before the latest regs.

If a door from a room leads away from a hazard to a place or route of safety it is deemed an escape route and from the picture I suspect it does.

I am being picky here cos it looks a good job, do you think the conductors into the new box are correctly contained.

As it has a closer I suspect it is an escape route. But why worry about the wiring with a flat screen TV mounted above the door? I'd worry more about that falling on my head as a fireman..

Would some metal conduit clamps over the plastic above the door be enough to be compliant?

Steel saddles are a solution and easy to retrofit.
You would be pushed to find any door which would not be part of an escape route in a commercial premises.

Sorry if my eventual additional info is useful. (I think not really sure what that is)

I have posted posts related to my house and others related to customers or just general questions.
