Hi there. I'm a DIYer. Just bought a house with a double garage that has just one socket in it; and it seems to be just a single spur direct from the CU. I want to put in more power outlets; and was wondering whether it's permissible to remove the existing socket, put in a 32a fuse/breaker, and then run a small ring circuit within the garage with a handful of sockets on it.
 
If it’s only a handful of sockets, and not a high total load, it could be a dedicated 16A radial, wired in 2.5mm

Edit: As you say, if its a SPUR you can only have one socket. You would need a spare way in the consumer unit for either a radial or a new ring.
