spurring off ring main

[geome]

I want to spur off a ring main with a single socket
Is it ok to run the cable horizontally just above the skirting board chased into the wall
The run will be about 5ft long

If that's where the sockets are.

Hi
Yes the sockets are just above the skirting boards

Your cables can go as detailed in the wonderful WIKI

If the circuit is not already 30mA RCD protected, then the cable of this spur and socket must be.
