An old property that had a 'rewire' about 6 years ago. It's had a PIR from an I've just traced a circuit at a property, the ring starts upstairs one socket in each bedroom, a spur drops from bedroom 1 to the living room, another spur drops from bedroom 2 to the living room and the ring continues from bedroom 3 to the kitchen and back to the ccu. A socket in the kitchen spurs to 5 dbl sockets in the conservatory and dining room. Rather than rip it all out and start again, I was wondering if I could do this: Remove the 2 spurs serving the living room, run a new cable from the ccu through to the living room with 5 new sockets, continue through to the dining room - 2 new sockets and join on to the exisiting kitchen spur creating a ring, albeit a bridged one. Thereby having 3 legs at the 32a mcb. In know it's unorthodox but surely it'll be better then what is in place now... If you can decipher what I'm on about, of course. Cheers!
ring circuit with lots of spurs...

The spurs from the RFC are fine, 5x spurs sounds a bit dodgy tho.
You should not bridge a ring final, if you are going to the trouble of running a new cable across you may create a new circuit on a 20A MCB/RCBO etc for those sockets, unfortunately notifiable under part p tho.
