Hi guys
Just downed tools for a second as not sure what to do and Im feeling v thick!!
I want to add two sockets to an existing ring main and I have one socket in the room in question at the mo. Its upstairs and I havent a clue where the wiring goes to either way from the socket I want to break into. The wiring doesn't really give a clue.
I want to do is:
1- chop into the ring with one 30 amp junction box (leave the other cable thats the other half of the ring currently going into the existing socket in place)
2)-use the chopped end with a junction box to join up to 1 new socket, then go out from that socket to the 2nd new one before returning to and joining up with the original pre-existing socket which still has one end of the original ring in place.
Can I do this plse? A qiuick response would be v much appreciated. Thanks
