Socket move and ring main extension

You could do that, but I’d probably leave the original socket in place. You can’t have too many sockets.
Yes, go on - splash out and have four sockets.
Would I chase the wall out from the original socket across to the other side of the room or the new one above the original?
Is it possible to for 3 wagos in the back box?
Use 4mm up to new socket 1 then across to new socket 2
So two fused spurs but allowed because it’s in 4mm?
That would be easier for the cable runs also.
That would be easier for the cable runs also.
You dont need any additional fuses just spur from the original ring socket (make sure it's not already a spur) to the two new sockets using 4mm.
Or just replace the existing socket with a FCU and add your new ones using 2.5mm cable (could use 1.5 mm)
First of all do we know whether or not it is a Ring or a Radial?
Secondly, if it is a Ring it would be a Ring Final not a Ring Main.
My apologies - the Title does say a Ring! so we will presume that has been verified.
Ditto that comment, that is why I added "verified" .
(Never Assume anything cos ASSUME can make a ASS of U & ME)
You owe me some money then
How do you work that out?
