With the prepared extension to hand the final step was to mount it onto the shelf that had been fixed into the loft. In order to leave as much space as possible for the laptop I chose to mount the extension lead on the underside of the shelf. This was accomplished by drilling four 5 mm holes to accommodate a pair of 300mm cable ties that could secure the box to the underside of the shelf.
After about thirty minutes of hefting stuff up into the loft and plugging it in everything was installed. Once switched on it all functioned as per spec. I decided not to test the UPS auto-shutdown of the NAS box as I had confirmed that it would work when the system was set up on the workbench.
Not pretty, but JOB DONE.
