Hi,
Having a conservatory built. Plan to do the electric myself. I want to add 3 double sockets, causing the smallest amount of damage to the existing electrics.
A socket on the existing ring sits on the inside of the wall the conservatory is being built on. I plan to drill through the back of the socket, through the wall and into the conservatory, then feed wiring through there.
From what I understand, I can't have 3 sockets on a spur, so intend to extend the existing ring, but using the wiring from one socket. So wiring should go as follows:
Existing wire to existing socket, new wire from existing socket through wall to new socket, so and and so forth for other new sockets, then new wire runs from last new socket back through wall to other existing wire (which was originally in the existing socket).
Make sense? Acceptable method? The other option was a fused spur, not sure which is easier/better. The conservatory sockets will only power things such as xmas tree lights and lamps.
