One of the sockets that I need is now hidden behind a chest of drawers,
so I want to have a new one only about 1m away.

My plan is to disconnect one of the two cables going into the socket (it
is definitely part of the upstairs ring, not a spur), extending it to
reach the new socket, and run the return back to the original socket.

Why not simply spur from the original?
