Extend ring and add a spur

[Nezzer]

I want to make some changes in our utility room. At the moment I have one double socket. Would it be possible to have the modifications made as in the attached schematic? I want to save a bit of cash, so I will install the boxes, trunking etc. and get someone to wire it up for me.

Is this possible? Do I need to make provision for anything else, circuit protection etc.?

I was only instructed that this needed doing this morning, so I might not have thought it through properly! Please feel free to tell me where I've gone wrong!

Oh, not sure what I've done wrong then? I can see it here OK.

the picture works ok here.

It looks like: 2 original cables and 3 new cables enter the box, one original is crimped to a new cable. 2 new cables go off to your extended bits. 1 new cable goes to FCU/spur. 2 new and one original cable are connect into the socket.
though you may want to rcd/rcbo the circuit or label the sockets

seems ok in principle. hope your backbox is deep!

Anyway, thanks for the help. I'll get the 'hardware' in place and see what the electrician has to say!

Thanks again!
