Provided they are accessible for inspection and testing.

Don't forget the requirements for concealed cable routes, and that now all sockets and most concealed cables will need RCD protection.

Also, how do you plan to test the circuit after you've modified it?
 
Thanks for your fast reply, the circuit is protected by the consumer unit (rcd), one run will be vertical through a new stud wall and another will be horizontal between two existing sockets, hopefully the testing of the circuit will be carried out by a qualified electrician in a few weeks time who is moving some light switches for me.
thanks
 
Has this electrician designed the extension to ring and instructed you what, and how, to do it? If so,then he can certify the completed job, if not then he should,n,t

I think the OP only wants it tested, not certified.
