AjayK46,
Don't take this the wrong way but lets be safe about this one!
It's simply not the done thing, just because it was originally there, don't make it right! It's foolish to think that, you wouldn't use a rubber hose pipe to connect up a gas heater in the garage via your gas hob or fire, and if you bought a house with something like that already in place would you consider it safe and continue using it?
Fixed accessories should not be powered up using extension leads! BS7671:2008 says not and that's the electrician bible with directives and guidelines that concern Part P and Electricty at works act and these are legal documents.
You've come to a site that was already offered, through a number of members the correct and safe way to do this.
Safety is paramount and I would not recommend anything that I considered unsafe to you, your family, friends and property.
Can you afford to take that risk?
