Hi
I have stripped out a ring main except for 1 sockets but need to add 3 doubles to it.
The problem I have is that the additional sockets are not accessable so I'm looking to isolate them via a 32amp dp switch in the end cupboard. The load demand is about 28 amp so would I just connect the ring into the supply side then connect another ring from the load side as a radial wouldn't be enough or would it?

No,
You would end up with a figure of 8, not a ring final circuit.
 
Why not ask an electrician to install a dedicated radial circuit for you?

Spark123 is correct. Even without the DP switch, it's still a terrible design to have such a large load concentrated on one part of a ring final circuit.
