It makes no difference if you extend the ring or use a spur. You

There's nothing to stop a future occupier from plugging two kettles
in, though (I'm assuming it's a double socket). ;-)

Modern kettles are generally 10 amps maximum.

Really? Ours isn't more than a couple of years old & it's the full
13 A.


The vast majority use the standard kettle connector. Rated at 10 amps.

Cordless ones don't use that sort of connector. Ours (a Philips) is rated
3kW.
