:really? if it's his own house, how so?

Most civilised countries have legally enforcible laws requiring that electrical
wiring be performed according to specified standards, and usually, alterations
must be carried out by a qualified electrician - even in your own house.

Since the OP is in the UK, this is particularly so.

In the Uk it is not 'highly illegal' to modify a mains lead on a Tv
set! stupid in this case, yes, but not illegal!
