Loft conversion wiring

[Greenbridge]

Hi there
I’m working on a loft conversion, just adding two small bedrooms in existing space.
Would it be ok adding a radial circuit off a 16 amp MCB ?
And how many sockets could I have?
Thanks

Hi and welcome to the forum mate.
I'm presuming that seeing you are a trainee, you will be working under the supervision of an electrician. How come you are not asking him/her the questions?
