Hi,   I need to put a new socket on a wall in my living room, it will spur off and existing socket and it is my closest option (nothing upstairs either), the thing is there is a door way in the way.  Instead of going up and over the door am I ok to channel a small path in my concrete floor and...

Hello, I'm just doing some research, but I need a plug socket put on a wall in my living room, thing is the nearest 'feed' for the spur that I can see is a nearby socket opposite out 2m away through a doorway.  My living room has a concrete floor and I want to see if I can buy some flush floor...

I think he has worked with a lot of electricians over the years and seen many ideas. Mental trunking (doh!)  As you are the pros then, would I just need to angle grind a small channel enough for some flush metal trunking to house the power and the TV cables? Thanks

Thanks!  Sorry for my silly subject title just noticed and can't edit it. Yeah I aim to put 3 thin HDMI cables, TV coax cable and a CAT6 network cable behind the wall, as for sourcing the electrical feed and shortest distance there is a plug socket about 3-4 metres away, thing is it is over the...

Thanks guys, I will get a pro in to put a socket behind the TV area, not sure what I will be quoted on that. Regarding the TV aerial, SKy Coax and HDMI cables these are fine to put behind the plasterboard ?

Hello, We want to put our TV on a different wall in our living room, but that side or the wall has no power sockets, we also want to put the TV DVD, Xbox etc away in a large cupbad by our stairs and this is where the nearest power socket is.  This is what I wanted to do, but am not sure if it...

Meant Just hide the cord not the actual plugs. I like the idea of taking 1 red and 1 black out (taping off) and adding my new plug socket and testing then add the first lot of cables back. If it was a spur and I added this spur what would happen? Thanks

Thanks,  I'm not sure how I can tell if it is part of the ring or if it is radial, but in my basic assumption if 2 black and 2 red go into it could this mean it is housing a spur or it is the ring as it is going via this socket. I guess I could easily make it a double socket and put my...

Hello, I have a single switched power socket on my living room wall and I wanted add a double sock further down the wall for my TV using some 2.5mm twin & earth cable.  I turned the downstairs ring main off and I unscrewed and pulled the socket out and can see (old wire standards) that the...
