  • MUCHOS on the wonder wipes.

    I think the sockets are pretty much wonky.

    On another note. There's a socket behind the door that hasn't got a plate on it.

    How do I do this myself?

  • You might need to be more specific. Do you have a back box blanked off and know what's inside or you have an open back box with wires in (unlikely with children in the house).

    If you have a blanked back box with wires in then you can test to see if it's connected to a circuit and buy a suitable 1 or 2 gang 13 amp outlet, wire the L,N,E according to the socket and fannies your mothers sister.

    If you need to add it to a circuit and you have the capacity to get a wire from one of the other sockets to this one then you can do that (just don't break the simple rules for routing the wire). As long as you work safely (power disconnected, check your work etc.) you are allowed to extend an existing circuit (except outdoors and in a bathroom).

    If you needed to create a new circuit coming from the CU that would not be allowed as it needs certifying.

  • will take a pic later.

    it's more a new face plate. there's a plastic interface where the plug goes in, that's all in. then the decorative bit that hides it.

    when you don't know the words it's hard to explain...
    it's not a big job thogh.
