Unfused spur from an existing FCU within the ring?

[piggoy]

I am a DIYer looking to add a double socket on an unfused spur. For me the nearest convenient connection point for the spur is an existing 3A fused FCU that is part of my ring main circuit. Can I spur off the supply side of this FCU?

Subject to actually being able to get that many conductors into the terminals of the FCU (by no means a certainty, and by no means easy to make sure they are all firmly clamped), yes.

But why not extend the circuit to the new socket?

Thanks for the advice. Yes your proposal is the most straight forward. However as a DIYer my understanding is that it is notified work to break into and reform the ring? Just trying to do things safely.

Your understanding is wrong. Generally, only new circuits are notifiable, not changes to existing ones.
