Hi folks,
I'd like to add an extra double socket in a bedroom but I can't run a spur from either of the two existing sockets, so which of the following two options is preferable ?
1) Add the new socket as a spur using a 30A junction box connected between the two existing sockets
2) Make the new socket part of the ring main (eg. existing-new-existing)
Many of the floorboards in the room are up, so it makes no odds to me really - I'd just like to follow 'best practice'....or are both options equally acceptable ?
Also - Part P says that adding extra power points or making other alterations to existing circuits (except kitchen/bathroom/outdoors) is not notifiable. Does this mean I can carry out the work mentioned above without the need to notify and it doesn't need certifying afterwards ?
Thanks.
