Fitting new socket in the bedroom

[sebastianvirlan]

Hi, I would like to add a new socket in the bedroom.

Current room configuration:

• 3 existing sockets - wiring coming from the bottom (under the floor)
• master fan - wiring coming from the attic
• 2 light switches - wiring coming from the attic

To legally, in respect to the UK regulations, can I wire the socket from:

• the master fan?
• a light switch (2 gang, one for the en-suite bulb and one for the fan)?

The master fan and the en-suite light switch are literally on top of where I would like to fit the new socket.
To wire it to an existing socket, I would need to cut in the floor boards, or make a mess in the walls as every socket is quite far from where I want to fit the new one.

I am attaching a picture with the wall where I would like to attach the new socket (bellow the light switch).

Hi and welcome to the forum.

You can't feed your socket from the lighting/fan circuit unfortunately. You would need to use the socket circuit.

You would need to be certain of how the existing sockets are configured, ie.ring/radial/spurs etc.
