just been told if I convert a double socket into two singles I can then feed a fused spur off each socket... can anyone confirm that is possible and more so OK for part P regulations etc...

This will be relating to your other topic? //www.diynot.com/forums/electrics/fused-spur-info.291038/
Why start another? Now nobody will know the context.
Yes it can be done, but why bother? Just extend the ring to include the two new FCUs, its only another metre or two of 2.5mm cable and has go to be easier than chopping another single box into the wall
Did you get answers to my other questions yet?

As designer do you believe that that load distribution would meet the deemed to satisfy requirements in 433.1.5, and Appendix 15 1(i)?
yes its related to my other post but didnt want to confuse the issue as my initial post as before talking to the guy that doing the work and is registed etc... Thanks.

I don't want to be picky here but, if he is
then he should be competent to do the works.
I cannot imagine why, then, you are asking these questions, on his behalf, on a Do-It-Yourself forum.
My advice stands on how to do this job. I would not take either of the approaches that have been suggested so far, for the reasons i have already given.
I'm just very curious and checking what I'm being told is right... too many rouge traders/cowboy builder programmes.
If the designer didn't believe that, then none of the solutions so far suggested would be satisfactory, since all involve taking two spurs off very close points on the ring. In that situation, it would presumably be necessary to find a way of feeding one spur from a more distant point on the ring (probably impractical) or installing an additional final circuit.

Too many rouge customers, seeing a 25min show and thinking they know the relevant regs
Maybe - but in the context of this OP's questions (particularly the original thread) I presume you would do not regard the contractor's view of what should be done as acceptable, would you?Too many rouge customers, seeing a 25min show and thinking they know the relevant regs

I was making a general comment.
But no, not the better way of doing things I agree.

And chalking this up as another example of a ring final being an unsuitable design.
I realised that, but thought that there might be some confusion in the context of this thread - since the 'professional' advice apparently received by the OP is, indeed, on this occasion, suspect.
Kind Regards, John.
