I need your expert advice ! :)

If you are just breaking directly in to the circuit and installing sockets in-line, that should be okay.
But make sure it is the RFC you are breaking in to and not a spur of the RFC.
You can spur only one extra socket outlet (this can be single or double gang) off any one socket outlet on the RFC, so you can not spur again of an unfused spur. You can install a 13A FCU (fused connection unit) in to the RFC and then run as many socket from that as you wish, but will be restricted to a maximum load of 13A on that addition, over all the new socket outlets.

They will be direct in the circuit, Thank you for your time, you have been a great help.

All the best
 
If it direct in to the circuit it should be okay>
As it is in the loft space, I assume any joints between cables will be easily accessible so you can install junction boxes if need be to extend the circuit or need some slack. Also remember to place Green/Yellow PVC sleeving over the bare copper earth wire when you make terminations.
It would also be a good idea if you have any test equipment to confirm continuity and get IR readings etc...
No worries about the help happy to be of assistance.

There is more than enough slack in the cable to add the sockets so there should be no need for junction boxes. Just cut and wire into the back of the sockets, I always have plenty of earth sleeving and will test thoroughly as I am a tad particular, some people call it something else ;)
Thanks again
