Adding socket

[Sully Green]

Hello Sparkies

I want to add another socket in the through lounge. I currently have two sockets (one in each room) and want to add a third but not sure how to.

Lifting the floor boards revealed a 3 way junction box from CU to two sockets. Is it ok to wire from an existing socket to the new one? I’m presuming I couldn’t change the junction box to add another point.

the problem however is that the place I want the socket on is blocked by a wall which runs across the room so I can’t go straight across but I could go around it across the room, through the cellar and back into the room on the other side but I’m worried the cable might be too long at 15meters.

bear in mind I will also be using a 4 way extension off that socket so I don’t want any Christmas fireworks either.

any advice much appreciated.
thanks

To be fair to me, I was just answering the question they asked, again, or was it again and again.

It not a problem guys. I was just trying to be nice and reply to every response. You’ve all been very helpful. Thanks everyone. This is a good forum.

whatever way it's done, RCD protection must be installed. either for the whole circuit or just for the new work.
