I recently bought a house. It turns out that all sockets in the property are on the same ring circuit (the kitchen sockets are on a separate ring circuit). There are only two sockets on the ground floor, one in the living room and one in the dining room, both on spurs fed from the ring circuit that runs between the ceiling of the ground floor and the floorboards of the first floor. As I need two more sockets in the living room, what’s the appropriate way of installing them? Should I run two more additional spurs from the existing ring circuit. Or should I install a new ring circuit for the ground floor only?
On the excising circuit there are now 7 sockets
Financially it makes sense to simply run two more spurs to the new sockets, but I am not sure if building regulations require a separate circuit for the ground floor and first floor?
Any advice would be much appreciated?
