Case study by Dan Electrician
On this job in Formby, I installed three additional sockets. The video below documents work on one of those socket positions, including the wall preparation.

What the job involved
The requirement was to provide three additional socket outlets at the property.
For the socket shown in the video, I extended the existing ring-circuit wiring, maintaining the continuity of the ring. The connection arrangement was part of the electrical work behind the finished accessory.
The video records one part of this three-socket job. It does not show every installation stage or the complete testing process.
Extending the existing ring circuit
The existing ring circuit provided the connection for the socket shown. I extended the ring wiring to incorporate the additional outlet while maintaining the circuit’s ring arrangement.
The finished socket faceplate shows the new outlet, but it does not show how the wiring behind it connects to the existing installation.
Final checks and result
All final electrical checks passed, with satisfactory results.
The completed job provided three additional sockets at the Formby property.
