splitting a socket

[0000dave0000]

If you're under the floor with cables and JBs anyway, why not extend the ring?

can this be done in this room as the rest of rooms are plastered and painted so dont want to disturb them, could someone modify my picture to show how to go about this? Thanks

could you show us what your current setup is?

In work just now but ill post when I get in, could I run off the bottom junction box into the socket in top left out that and into the right one and out onto the next room ? Reason I ask is the bottom socket is plastered into the wall half way up for the telly, my dad just put one cable in so he could finish the plastering

Is the socket on the JB the one that's half way up the wall? Would be better if you could get the cable upto and down from that socket so it's on the ring and there is no JB at all but as is, as long as the JB is accessible or "Maintenence Free", as a non-expert it looks much better. Do you have a multimeter so you can at least check continuity of the ring (whilst it's isolated)?
