Hi everyone,
I'd be massively grateful if someone could please give me some advice on this, I thought it best to ask rather than just diving in myself.
We had a new extension added to the house, plus had the wiring redone in the old part of the house (where this query is).
Ideally, we'd like to take a spur double socket to the annotated blue box (pic below) so the router can be tidied away under window seat we're fitting.
It's not a level horizontal though and would need to sit around 30cm rather than the code 45cm, but we don't have the height for that under the window.
Is there a way that this can be done? Understood any diagonal wiring is an absolute no-no,
Does anyone have any thoughts on the best approach - or if this is a non starter?
Maybe go across the horizontal level to the adjacent wall then fit a fuse for the spur, then down and along level to the lower horizontal, so the path of the cable can be clearly worked out?
We're getting a sparks in to finish off some upstairs light fittings and sockets next year, so he'd be able to check my work then - but this is just (hopefully) a mini job I was looking to sort now to get this room finished in time for Christmas.
Many thanks for any advice.
