It makes no difference if you extend the ring or use a spur. You
should ensure sure that the current carrying capacity of the cable
does not drop below 20A.

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.



And the 13A ones will boil quicker so there is no problem.

Not to mention that they are probably only 3kW at 240V and not 3kW with the
new fangled 230V that we now use!

I found a missing 10V down the back of the settee the other day.


Was it an old 10V or the smaller new one?
