Hello everyone, planning an install were it is impossible to get back to the cu.

Currently have a outdoor socket (on a ring with rcd protection) which i am planning on spurring of and putting a 13fused spur next to it. From here (loadside) a 2.5mm armoured has already been installed for approx meters underground to get to the garage. In the garage will be 1 x double socket and then a fused down 3amp spur to supply the lighting circuit. For reassurance... would anyone do anything differently? Isit worth putting a rcd spur before the armoured out to the garage? A neighbouring garage suffered from a slight roof leak (now resolved)...just incase im being overly cautious as anyone should be.
 
Are you sure the existing outside socket is on the ring, and not already a spur?
I tend to place a switch fuse on the ring inside so that the outside socket can be isolated.

If this is the case, you can just extend the circuit.
(Remember, hast to be a fused spur of supplying more than one point)

All the sockets should be on an RCD anyway, so there’s no great advantage putting another in downstream.
