Hello,
I have a single socket spur taken from the ringmain in the kitchen out to the conservatory (this has been in-place for some time). The conservatory currenly has no other sockets fitted. I want to fit 3 double sockets and I was thinking of replacing the single socket with a 13amp FCU (with a 13amp fuse fitted) then connecting 3xdouble sockets in a radial circuit. The problem is that I want to fit 1 double socket on one wall and 2 x double sockets on the wall opposite - The only way I can think of of connecting all the cables from each side of the room to the FCU is via a 13amp junction box.
So, the power will come from the ring main in the kitchen through the FCU down to the junction box, then split and 1 cable going to 1 side of the room and 1 to the other. Is this safe to do?

Junction Box-----1 double socket

1 doucle socket
Thanks,
