OP
ArseyDee
Those are sensible suggestions,if it is assumed the ring is a ring,and intact
The op is not an electrician and the likelyhood of the circuit having been tested for addition or alteration will probably be nill
It is the lack of testing and the "stuff the cables anywhere" practices that will probably have disuaded anyone from giving much advise
He seems to have researched some of the practices that would be required,but he tends to give the impression of being well out of his depth,hence why there is reluctance to aid the op
I too was reluctant to post advice. He was nearly there though with his blanking plate idea. Not much of a leap from that to sockets. Better terminations too.
Yes, loads of other factors to consider. Didn't want to get into those! :smile5:
