How do I wire this to a socket?
Electrician installed a new point but wire is a loop.
Said he would come back to put the socket on but I want to do it now.

I’m confident with wiring plugs, switches etc, just not seen a loop like this and need some confirmation what to do.

Thanks

Turn the power off and make sure it is off.
Strip back the cable so you can see the internal coloured sleeving.
Get the earth sleeving that you will need.
Leave yourself enough length of the blue brown and Earth wires.
Two blue to neutral. Two brown to live. Sleeve the two earth wires with the sleeving.
Put the two earth wires in the earth terminal.

A proper electrician will then do a continuity test of the ring final at the consumer unit before reconnecting the power.
