You only have two double sockets in the room and are getting rid of one?Hi,I'm currently soundproofing my bedroom wall and I have 2 double plug sockets. I turned the electrics off, removed the faceplate and saw that there was enough cable to pull it forward to the other side of the soundproofing board. The trouble is it was quite tight and tricky and seeing as I dont need the other socket I would rather not have the hassle again. Can I put a blank face plate on this and board over it or not. There are 2 wires of each.
Thanks
Kate
Personally I would suggest you keep the socket outlet, leaving only one double socket outlet in a room is not good practice IMHO..
Regs such as 553.1.7 and the guidance on page 162 of on site guide come to mind.
If you are struggling to refix the socket in front of your sound proofing, may be worth a call to local electrician to sort if for you...
It should be a quite straightforward job I would guess costing around
