I've moved into a 1960s property and have noted that a number of sockets are spurred off the ring main.
There is only 1 double socket on each spur, so no problem there??
However in the living room the ring main has been extended with 3 additional double sockets on a new 'ring' of 2.5 t+e, the ends of this new 'ring' have been connected into the back of a double socket on the existing ring main.
Is this okay?? Is it safe??? Has the previous owner simply created a spur using 2 wire runs instead of one.
Advice would be appreciated.
