Maybe a trivial question but I'm a total beginner...getting a spur from an existing double socket in the kitchen (not normally used). I'm using 2.5 mm cable, and a 13 amp socket (the ones you screw on the walls). Is this OK?

forgot to say the socket is in a storage room next to the kitchen, so I understand there's no need to notify - can anybody confirm? I understand it has to be at least 450 mm from the floor but I fitted it quite low (right above skirting boards) does this matter?
The socket doesn't have to comply with the new socket heights unless you are renovating to property so there is no problem with you fitting it low down apart from the likelihood of damage by feet/vacuum cleaners etc.
I don't believe it is notifiable work and 2.5mm² cable is fine. Are you sure the socket your are spurring from is not already a spur?
