Pyro is new to me, and from what they've been saying and showing me, its awful stuff - especially when it ancient like ours.
.

It’s not awful stuff at all, it’s a pretty versatile and very resilient type of cable.
Working with it is a less common skill these days and these people telling you it is ‘awful stuff’ suggests that maybe they don’t have the skills.

Someone with the relevant experience, and maybe a little lateral thinking should have no problem doing the job safely and in full compliance with the regulations. Although whoever does it and however they do it there will have to be a bit of a hole made in the plaster to access the glands and cable.
 
Thanks Tel, tell me where can I get a Bobble, do CEF stock them, or is it an orange shed type item? can't think what the Guy behind the counter would say if I asked for a box of Bobbles to fit the new Bobble socket in my House.
Hope the OP isn't offended, cus it's banter, nothing more nothing less.
CEF would probably tell you one price for that Bobble and charge you another price.
 
Why not leave the existing MICC socket as it is , but replace the actual socket itself. Remove skt box on the left and replace it with a new twin socket box. Flush 2nd box about half inch from existing MICC box. That way, all neat and tidy, plus you will have 3 x sockets.
 
What about disconnecting the spur then using a single to double socket converter over the MICC socket and filling the remains of the other single socket?

Agree with Davisonp, simple DIY job & you'll be done in no time. Not worth complicating it if your not sure you have the skills.
