I plan to make a panelled headboard similar to the attached and would like to move the existing wall sockets from behind so they are mounted on the panelling.
Does the below sound reasonable?
Remove old socket, join length of cable with terminal blocks, run to dry liner pattress box on panelling (those ones that can tighten against a plaster wall), install new socket. Would like to avoid a surface mount box as have nice low profile sockets.
If it’s more involved I’ll get an electrician. 6 weeks wait though round here.
