Hi
Im wondering if you can answer a question for me please as I can't find a definitive answer.
Do I need a qualified electrician to add an extra double socket via a spur or can I complete this myself?
The reason I ask is that the regs changed last year and I'm a little confused. I have fitted the socket to the wall but it just needs wiring in now. The distance from a suitable socket is around 3-4m and the 2.5mm T&E will be ran under the floor and into an unused space above the stairs (angled ceiling)
Is there a limit to how long a spur can be? I have read that 3m is max. It's a 2 bed house and there is a proteus rcd protecting the whole house.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks
MJ
