Crack on you're well within your rights. Just be safe when you're working with the electricity.
edit :- Suddenly thought you might need to be careful when you move 15cm you might need a bit more cable than you currently have. No diagonal runs of wire, ever, anywhere. If you know where the cable is coming from and you're just shortening it by 15cm, no problem.
Airhead-
Ta. Yeah was going to stick with the existing cable which can get me close to where I want them.
What are my options if I do want to move them further, is a junction box acceptable? I could run the cable under the floorboard, wire up the junction box then poke poke it under the floor board, then bring the new cable up?

Got a surface mounted double socket plug box on my chimney breast that I'd like to move about 15cm and recess. How legit is it for me to dig out approx 15mm of brick out to do this? Do I need any permission or sign offs to do this?
On a party wall chimney breast in case that makes any difference.
