I currently have just two sockets in the upstairs of my house - one in each of the two bedrooms, located back to back on the partition wall.
I'm looking to add more sockets as it's inconvenient as it currently is. Both sockets are currently feeding a spur to two downstairs sockets (one spurring from each upstairs socket) - presuming this was done by the previous owners.
My plan is to add a 13A FCU to each of the two existing upstairs sockets and feed this to a couple of new sockets in each of the bedrooms, then connect this back in to the downstairs socket that was originally spurred off.
So basically i'll have two sets of the same setup which is:
- FCU connected off from upstairs socket
- connected to first new double socket
- connection to second new double socket
- connection back down to original spurred socket downstairs
Connections will be made using 2.5mm2 cable.
Does anyone have any comments or suggestions on this?
I don't like the fact that my new sockets will have a cable in and a cable out, thereby potentially giving the impression that this could be part of the ring main, however with the 13A FCU it should be sufficiently protected.
Would welcome any thoughts or advice?
Thanks
