Morning all,
Last year we bought a house (1980ish) and one bedroom only had one plug socket in it. From that another plug socket was already in place.
We had the fuse box changed for new and a certificate issued by a local electrician we knew. He also ran two more double sockets off the 2nd plug mentioned above.
I've just built a corner desk for my son and have trunked for the adding of four more double sockets, which the electrician says is absolutely fine. I've since been told that you cannot daisy chain sockets. Is that what I'm having done? If so, what are the risks and how should it be done so its safe? Electrician is NICEIC registered and was able to issue a safety certificate last year so I'm just sense checking what work is being completed.
For info, the new sockets will carry...
One PC
Two monitors
One printer
One lamp
One set of led strip lights (possibly)
Son is at school most of the day so they'll rarely be switched on but I'm guessing that's not the point.
Thanks in advance.
