A friend of mine recently had some new sockets installed in a
conservatory. These were fed from a fused spur of the ring mains.
They are in 2.5mm on a radial. Is this OK.

Yes - if fed via an FCU you may have as many as you wish. And 1.5mm
TW&E would almost certainly have been suitable.

Don't they have to have a 30mA trip to met current regs? It may be met
by an existing trip on the ring but no information was provided.

I suppose if the conservatory sockets are likely to feed things used
outdoors they should be RCD protected. You can get suitable ones which
replace an FCU if the ring isn't already protected.
