Move two way light switch

[Borat1987]

Hi,

I need to move a two way light switch from one side of a breeze block wall to another.....there isn’t enough length on the existing cable to feed it though. So I’m going to need to use electrical blocks to extend the cable, then feed the new length through. Do I need to use an electrical block for each individual cable or can I group them together and then use a single cable on the other end of the block and just feed that through. If I can what grading of cable would I need?

any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Dan

Lift the boards upstairs and pull down other side of the wall. Tell me that is isolated and not live.

Thank you for your reply, unfortunately there is a water tank above the switch so it’s not possible to remove the floorboards.

Make the switch on the other side higher to give some extra length.

I like your thinking but there is another layer of breeze blocks above the cable so I can’t make it any longer.

A cylindrical immersion tank?
