[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 526731, member: 250"] Is this just laminate over a standard wooden floor.. i.e. NOT a concrete solid floor? If it were my house, and there is space below the floor... I wouldn't waste my time faffing around with unsightly blanking plates over old socket positions.. I would either lift the laminate... Or get my multi-tool out and cut a neat access through both the laminate and the floor boards so that I can box, join and extend the cables below floorboards.. then pop the access section back in place.... A small access point next the skirting shouldn't be too difficult to conceal without causing much of a problem to the rest of the floor... (it may end up with some furniture hiding it anyway!!!).
