I have a brand new-build bungalow with all the wiring in loft drooping through cavities to each room below. There are 3 separate ring-main zones. Above the bedrooms area (zone), I would like to fit a twin power socket in the loft to plug in an aerial amplifier and lead lamp.
Q. In the loft, would it be better to:-
a) Use a junction box's to break into the bedroom(s) ring main and extend it using a double socket ?
or b) Use a junction box to break into the ring main and wire it as a spur?
If the answer is b) should it be a fused spur?
Also I read that the junction box (30A) should be screwed to a fireproof area. Mmm, does a rafter count as a fire-proof mounting? and does it matter if the junction box is covered by 1 foot thick loft insulation?
Many thanks,
Vangarhi
