Can i run a further double socket off an existing one?

You can run a spur off the ring but not a spur from a spur. If the double socket is on the mains ring you can run a spur from it. If the double socket is already spurred off from the mains ring then you can't.

druiaghtagh - Try these suggestions click here. Depends how neat the finished result needs to be. Either whack an extra bit of cable into the back of the socket [assuming there's two sets of cable otherwise it's already a "spur" if there's on one cable]. For a "pro" job, cut into the ring as per diagram on the website. If you don't want to chase it all into the plaster etc [bury under the surface] you can get plastic trunking to cover it up. goes without saying: [1] turn the power off & remove the correct fuse first, [2] check the socket's off [circuit tester or plug in accessory and [3] if you ain't sure what you're doing get someone in who does!! Good luck!!
