You can, but it will be notifiable under Part P of the building regulations (as you're adding new final circuits) so you'd have to tell your LABC in advance and pay their notification fee, which may end up costing more than getting a professional spark (who can self certify) in to do the work for you...

• //www.diynot.com/wiki/electrics:part-p
  
• For a circuit to supply a <thing> (doesn't matter what), how would you go about deciding what cable and protective device to use?
  
• Do you understand how the way in which you install cables affects how much current they can carry?
  
• What are the rules concerning cables concealed in walls, partitions and under floors?
  
• Which circuits must be RCD protected?
  
• Explain what tests you would carry out on the installation - please cover the sequence you'd do them in and at what point you would energise the installation, and for each test explain what is being measured, why it is important, how you would carry out the test, and with what equipment, and what sort of results you would expect to get if everything was OK.
