Is it possible to move it straight over to one side or do we need a new ring main as well, as one contractor has suggested?

As said you cant hide a joint in cables so blank plate over old socket,but I thought it was 150mm(6") & not 300mm(12").

Well introducing the Light Socket Electrical Adapter. This is not a new design by any stretch & has been around for decades. (There are even some from the 1930′s that screw in just as a plug & won’t allow a bulb to be screwed into them though these seem more common by comparison)

This is particularity viable for stealth camping applications or those of you who reside in storage units ;) for instance. (just the thing you need for your laptop although I have run soft start 5,000 BTU Window AC’s with setup – the key is to find that the socket that this screws into is rated to support your desired current load or else you can risk meltdown!) ~ enjoy!
