Hi
Would really appreciate some advice.
I am looking to add a socket in a ring for computer bits and pieces.
We had an extension build on the house, which has left 4 twin and earth cables running through a loft space right past where I want to add the socket. These are 2.5mm and come from the consumer unit which was replaced as part of the work.
Now the extension only has lighting and sockets so I presume that the 4 cables are 2 rings, one for each lighting and sockets, but there is no way to know which.
So if I am adding in a junction box to take the spur from does it matter if I use the lighting or socket ring as I have a 50/50 until I have cut the wire, and assume it makes no difference if which end of the ring I would be taking from ( that's actually too obvious to be asking)
Thanks
Andy
