wanted to add a socket to the wall for a tv on the wall/stand:
so I want to add the socket on the wall at the end of the vid by taking it from the socket thats upstairs. (is it ok to do that and if theres 1 cable only going into that socket am I correct in assuming that it's a radial circuit or it's a spur on a ring, also a ring would ideally be on a 32amp cb wouldn't it)

(these are the downstairs sockets i assume on a ring cause of the 2 wires and is the single socket with 1 wire i assume it's a spur, (was a single gang socket(wire going from the white box just abit up on the wall for a single socket but electrician removed the socket and left the box)

whats the easiest method to add a socket to the wall. ( can rip out floorboards they will be getting renewed anyway)

if possible you could move this thread to diy help if needed -.-
 
You can't assume the type of circuit from the number of cables at a socket, both a ring final or radial final circuit can have sockets with one, two or three cables present.
