Spurring from flush wall socket.

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Carrying on from my other post regards type of conduit to use.


I’ve got a job to install an outside socket for a client, where I need to spur off from a living in groom socket, run mini conduit from socket on adjacent wall to wall where outside socket is being fitted.  But the socket I’m spurring off is a metal back box in the wall.  So what is the best way to bring the spurred cable from this socket in to the mini trunking, without causing too much damage to the wall?

    1. Obtain customer permission.


    2. Make a shallow chase from the existing socket to the outside wall. 


    3. Drill within the chase at the outside wall a hole just big enough for the new cable.


    4. Install new cable.


    5. Plaster in chase, in two gos if necessary to obtain a nice plaster finish flush with the existing plaster.


    6. Argue with customer about the actual disruption/damage caused.


    7. NOTE. To avoid 6 ensure 1 is clearly discussed and understood before work commences.


    8. P.S. Final note. Do NOT give customers too many choices or instill doubt into them. It confuses and unsettles them.


    9. Act in a very confident way as if you know what you are doing, like a London plumber, to create confidence in yourself by the customer.
