1 yes you can (but you shouldnt) more so if the cold is mains fed then its deffo a no no
2 if you do no

thanks for the rapid response but what do you suggest i do instead do i have to run new pipes, hot from the cylinder and cold from the cold tank in the loft?
alos is it ok to gain an electricity supply from the ring using a junction box?
cheers for the help.

1 yes that is the way to go

2 i would think a fused connection unit spurred off the ring (might need an rcd)

best bet is ask the sparks as according to one of their number the rest of the site is crap
