    Interesting video, seen wings like this a few times. I probably would have used a dual knockout box myself if I was doing that job. Fused spur for the heater, double socket outlet as a bonus! Cut the cable between the two. Would have saved the cable pulling

    That new socket needed the top surface of the block scraped away with a scutching hammer, as the knock box was proud of the plasterboard. No need for decorators mate or caulking 😀

    Nice job getting the cable pulled in, when you first started and James was pulling I had visions of the chandelier scene from only fools and horses with one of the other cables being dragged out.
    Hope you removed the new back box and went a bit deeper for a flush finish rather than fill the gap which will look naff.

I discovered brand new installation by the builders of the extension used , wait for it. Twin bell wire for the 13a sockets. Was connected to the lighting circuit. No earth nothing. Worst I have ever seen. I disconnected immediately and advised them to contact the builder.
