Hi, I'd like some advice on the best way to install a new power socket. I need a ceiling mounted double socket in my living room. I initially thought I could run a spur from a socket in the bedroom above down through the ceiling but on closer examination of this aged terrace house's wiring it seems that both sockets in that room are already on spurs. God knows where they connect to the ring and I'm not keen on tearing up carpet and flooring to find out.
My initial thought was to install a FCU before the socket I planned on spurring from but I have no idea what runs before that. Other options were just to run a fused extension lead through the ceiling but that's a bit messy.
So, bearing in mind the current state of things and that "regs" are not going to be met without a full rewire, what is the best I can do to keep things safe?
