I want to run a spur off an existing wall mounted above kitchen worktop area
socket (on the ring).

I plan to run the cable vertically down, sunk in the wall (metal shielded)
to just below the worktop, then run surface mounted horizontally in plastic
trunking, then back up sunk in the wall (metal shielded) to the new spur
socket.

Any problems with this plan?

Cheers, Darren.

Sounds fine but why bother with shielding the vertical runs of cable? They
will be in allowable zones. Assumes I've understood correctly that the first
run come down from an existing socket.

Presume you don't need reminding about kitchens and Part P?

Any kitchen work done by somebody not registered (who cannot sign it off)
needs to notify building control and pay them to inspect

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

If you use the old black and red cable who can say when it was done.

Or, for that matter, use the new colours and claim you had to replace
the cable because you moved the socket a few inches and the old cable
wasn't long enough so had to run a new bit - but the original had been
there years, honest.

I assume you have a reason why you don't mind chasing the wall below the
existing socket but don't want to chase the wall horizontally from the
socket to the new spur? If its just decor why not think long term.

Agreed, however watch out for dated components (sockets, junction boxes
etc) some with dates in reverse order and some in other less
recognizable formats. scratch or rub them out.

Or just claim that you replaced a damaged component at the same time. Or
just not worry about it at all.
