Alas, it appears that the wires have been laid without conduit, and
are simply embedded deep in the plaster. Looks like they were saving
money all over when they built these houses.

There is one possibility that has occurred to me - there is a 13 amp
socket at skirting board level on the other side of the wall. It is
possible that I could drill through and run a feed from neutral from
that without too much grief or redecoration required, which would
then give me a live and neutral to run the module from. As the live
is still coming from the lighting circuit, I think that should still
be ok, safety-wise.

Comments?
