Adding a spur to an existing circuit on a BS3036 CU

[electro-lass]

Hi there,
I'm a newly trained electrician with limited experience and could really use some expert advice. I've searched through the forum about this but have only managed to confuse myself further. I have been asked to add a double socket to a living room ring circuit. My plan is to spur off an existing socket in the living room running the cable under the floor boards. The CU is a Wylex BS3036 board. To comply with regulations, does the double socket that I install have to be RCD protected?

Why not an upfront rcd on the whole cu?

Only a muppet would suggest that!

We all know what needs to be done, but its better than nothing fella.

Generally with a 4 year apprenticeship

I got me an apprentaship, best way to describe most of the guys is.

Dodgy dave, neville and an adhd midget.

Its a great apprentaship with our own monkeys in house to show you the wrong way so you't have don't have to make the mistake XD

A lot of bms work so see a lot of crap hit the fan so need to constantly re purposes cables, add more, deviate from panel drawings because it needs panel mods but no one nows what because they havent been delivered to site yet.

Forget the apprenticeship and take an english course.

I didn't realise I would be graded on my posts here, It is a little tricky because ive got Asperger's.

This makes it difficult for me to phrase my sentences well etc
