Whats the alternative to adding a spur if the ring main hasn't enough slack

This doesn't make any sense: Why do you want an alternative to a spur?
If you want to add an extra single or twin socket then just take a spur
from the nearest socket on the ring with a length of 2.5mm cable (as
long as it isn't already feeding a spur somewhere else.)

Could I break the ring with two junction boxes
and add two wires to extend the ring to the new socket,

Yes, that'd be fine.


if thats ok what about a double wired spur?

Buh?
