    extending a ring

    if you have a room and want to add another socket, is that notifiable and also will the sockets then need to go on an RCD as they currently dont have any RCD's on their cu.

    Extending a ring

    hope this makes sense. Can I crimp connect inside a socket to extend a leg of the ring to another socket on the other side of a wall to go on the ring final. There is already a spur off this socket and it is impossible to get any boards up etc!
