They were replaced by the previous owners with standard 9v battery-powered alarms.

Re: Can I re-use this choc block to add a power socket in my loft?

I think you're right, as the house used to have interlinked smoke alarms.

I'm going to replace the choc block with a maintenance-free junction box then continue boarding over it. Will spur the socket from the upstairs ring main or run a new feed from the CU.

Thanks.

Can I re-use this choc block to add a power socket in my loft?

I'm boarding my loft, raising the floor. As the floor is going over an old disused aerial booster, I disconnected it first. I had assumed it was somehow spliced into the lighting circuit, but through trial & error at the breaker box I found it was actually using the "downstairs sockets"...
