@t.o.
did you want an additional socket on the left side in the hole, or just to move it to its new location? Assuming the latter, either:
“I have had a socket moved. The previous electrician used a surface mounted patress box with surface mounted conduit, can you chase out a channel, recess the conduit and replace the surface mounted back box with a normal one please”
Or
“Previous electrician moved a socket for me, using surface mounted conduit because [reason - eg there is something in the wall preventing it being recessed] can you add a blanking plate over the old back box please?”
Given this is a DIY thread on a cycling forum would say if you can fix a puncture you can do either of those things yourself. Doing the first is mildly more complicated but very satisfying. I have no idea if it is something you’re supposed to tell [The Government] about.
