I'm not part P certified, but we're renovating our house. The house will be rewired at a later date, but in the mean-time, am I able to remove sockets from a ring main, replacing them with chocboxes and 30A terminal strips?

At present, there's only one ring main in the house, which makes this all particularly awkward. I realise this isn't "like for like" repair, so I suspect it's probably not allowed. :-/
If it's not, what do you guys suggest are my options? Get an electrician in to wire just a couple of sockets near the existing fuse board, and run the renovations from that and a few extension leads? Current board is in the cellar and all the wiring is exposed, so I don't suppose this'd be a particularly complicated job.
Cheers for any suggestions!
