Trailing socket flex extension

[Papaleekie]

I wish to run a 4 gang trailer socket to supply power to tv, dvd, freeview box in a bedroom. The trouble is the desired location is about 10 feet from the nearest socket. The longest trailer socket I have seen in diy stores is around 6 feet. Is it ok to use a junction box, surface mounted in a cupboard, and extend the flex to about 10 feet? The trailer socket I intend to uses has a red neon indicator light but is not surge protected.

Well, it's easy to make your own up with some white/black 13A flex. Or ask someone ok at electrical stuff to make up for you.
Plenty here tho ...

You could also use two short trailer sockets if you have them. Just plug one into the other then into the mains socket.
