Both good ideas, particularly the RCD, but if you do put a spur in and the socket circuit isn't already RCD protected you could use an RCD FCU.

dont forget to inform the local BC about the installation

Why?

Adding a spur or extending the ring is not notifiable.

Why is your friend asking you to put them in, knowing that your are not an electrician?

Nor even, it would appear, a competent DIYer...

Thats 3 new, multiple posters in the last few days.

WTF is going on?

qbert - lacking competence is not quite the same as not being good, and asking questions in order to improve your knowledge is a good trait.

But starting new topics every time you have a follow up question is not....
