Hi. I have a spur coming off the main ring for the upstairs which is providing the only power point in the 2nd bedroom. I am after adding more sockets but without disrupting too much of the house. I was just wondering if i could add more sockets onto that spur and then feed the last socket back down to the consumer unit as this is the easiest route(rather than feeding it back into the existing ring main) Hence this would make a kind of ring on a ring. Or a radial joining onto a ring if you like. Would it be ok to do this? Cheers
Taking a spur back to consumer unit??

You can only have one unfused spur off a ring socket so suggest you change the spur to a FCU then you can have as many sockets as you like on that radial.
not wishing to state the obvious, but why can't you extend the ring into the bedroom? safest and neatest way of doing it.

I think i probably will just pull up a few more floorboards and extend the upstairs ring now after all that. I could'nt put in a seperate radial as there are no spare slots in the CU. Unless i changed the consumer unit of course, but thats extra cash and a whole new can of worms. Cheers anyway fella's.
