I want to break into the ring main and add a couple of sockets but what

joints will just be under normal bedroom floorboards.

Under floorboards is considered accessible so a JB is fine.

Providing you are able and willing to lift them if needed
during an electrical inspection. So generally, they are
not regarded as accessible because it could mean damaging
any floor covering (which might be applied at a later date).
