Hi, I would like to add a new socket in the bedroom.
Current room configuration:
To legally, in respect to the UK regulations, can I wire the socket from:
The master fan and the en-suite light switch are literally on top of where I would like to fit the new socket.
To wire it to an existing socket, I would need to cut in the floor boards, or make a mess in the walls as every socket is quite far from where I want to fit the new one.
I am attaching a picture with the wall where I would like to attach the new socket (bellow the light switch).
Current room configuration:
- 3 existing sockets - wiring coming from the bottom (under the floor)
- master fan - wiring coming from the attic
- 2 light switches - wiring coming from the attic
To legally, in respect to the UK regulations, can I wire the socket from:
- the master fan?
- a light switch (2 gang, one for the en-suite bulb and one for the fan)?
