Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Billandlee5153. It's amazing to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about adjusting power points.
To raise power points when installing wood panelling, you’ll need to account for the added thickness of the panels. This process requires the expertise of a licensed electrician to ensure it complies with safety regulations and electrical codes.
First, the electrician will need to remove the power points and assess whether the existing mount can accommodate the new depth or if adjustments are required to extend the electrical box forward. Once the cables are safely secured and the electrical connections are protected, you can proceed to install your wood panelling. Ensure you cut precise openings for the power points, allowing them to sit flush with the surface of the new panelling.
After the panelling is securely in place, the electrician will return to reinstall the power points, ensuring they are properly aligned with the new surface. Following this two-step process will ensure a professional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing finish.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
