spare socket

[rapidrich]

hi just a quicky i have to put a spare in a living room but can not get access from above plus have to hide the wireing wich is the best way of going about it?

back to back if a socket is on the other side of the wall, or get your lump hammer and bolster and start chasing

im guessing you have a concrete floor? another way of gettin the cable there would be to pull the skirting board off

cant go back to back socket is also the other side of the room would behind the skirting board be ok i was a not sure about this with the skirting being wood (flamable)

Can you run cables behind skiting boards?
I thought you couldnt due to it not being a cable zone, and also too much rish of being drilled, screwed through when joiner fixes them.

i would of thought that to?

Replace skirting with one purpose designed with a cable conduit built in.

I have the ideal installation and you don't even have to be part p registered, plus no cert required.




use an extension lead get a black one and tuck it in next to the skirting, you will hardly notice it and it will not mess up your decoration nor will it break the bank

If there is no other way round it,can't you chase the floor
