Ring Main alteration - any problems?

[flyingsparks]

I have b***gerd up a bit, and while first fixing managed to make a ring around the sockets, but no legs to the CU.... I was having a bad day and not thinking.... Thing is its now all decorated and sorting it is only really possible by the following:

Spur off from an another ring main in the loft with a 6mm, take in to the back of one of my 4 dead sockets, which are then on another ring of there own but the same circuit.

Is this acceptable, its all protected by a 32A MCB and it is 2 rings really with a piece of 6mm joing them.

I know its not really the done practice... but there isnt much else I can do!

I don't like the sound of spurring off another RFC with 6mm in the loft as this will mean the existing ring can be loaded all from one point on it. It is also not a standard configuration.
If you can do that with a 6mm, can you not run 2x 2.5mm cables and make them the same ring?

Seeing as you've had such a bad day it might be worth testing the ring continuity just one more time to make sure it is a ring and there wont be any live ends hidden in the wall when you've finished

Good advice Pensdown!! Pretty sure it is a ring, but I will check again!!
