Attach 1 double socket to CU

[123]

Put in a new protective device it would require notification to building control under Part P of the Building Regulations. Connected from the existing ring final circuit it does not, that's the way of it. Do you have rcd protection.

OP is in Scotland, Part P Notification doesn't apply there

to many google diyers out there thinking they know it all just by asking questions on forums. a friend of mine had a customer thinks he knows it all does all his own wireing dosent even know how to cable size volt drop loves a jb and choc blocks apprantly
i was told his garage caught fire. insurance refused to pay out because electrics was all wrong, little knowledge is dangerous,

Appendix 15
Ring and radial final circuit arrangements
Regulation 433.1
Page 505 have a look at the diagram it illustrates all that you can do with regards to spuring off very good page to understand the dos and donts as I wasn’t too sure untill I seen that page.

Appendix 15 is an informative annex, it is not normative. It shows some options that can be used for ring and radial final circuits. You can have multiple unfused spurs on the ring (you can find a few discussions about this on this site).

Sorry I’ve not made it clear what I was trying to interpret yes you can have multiple unfused spurs on any circuit but only one at each point didn’t make it clear find it easier to explain in person rather than txt

Didn't spot that

Yes there is RCD protection. The new socket will only be used to charge a Dyson Hoover.

It is a Dyson or a Hoover. It can't be both.

 

[GeorgeCooke]

You can only have 1 unfused spur from any point of circuit including consumer unit that’s the regs.

I don't think that is true.

OP assuming these works are in Scotland my original quotes regarding Part P were incorrect however, it is clear these works are beyond your electrical knowledge and for the benefit of your sister-in-law she needs to get an electrician in. For this reason I am closing this thread.
