Fitting 3 twin sockets advice

[Simon_]

I'm have some alterations done in my living room and i'm moving my flat screen tv, xbox, blu-ray player, freeview box and surround sound system from one side of the room to the other. The original position had a twin socket with surge protected extension but the wife wants three twin sockets when we move the room around. The spot where we are moving it to only has a single socket. I was thinking of changing the single to a double and linking to the second twin socket. Should i add in a fused spur between the second and third socket? Or maybe change the single to a fused spur and add the three sockets on to that.

Cable is 2.5 throughout.

That sounds like there is a ring present somewhere and the single socket spurs off it.
Like I said if you're adding extra sockets it would be best to find the ring and extend that, even take out the existing spur, that way you don't have to have extra fuses everywhere.

Better still plug all your av equipment into one of those multiway extension sockets where if you turn the telly off it all goes off, thereby saving yourself a lot of work and saving the planet into the bargain.
