Hi thanks for reply this is a single socket for for washing machine which is spur off ring maln assume I’m trying to get power to a dishwasher my only other option is a double socket which is supplying a hob ignition and a electric oven and swop for triple socket this again is a spurPirate's point is an important one. Spur (as I assumed), or spur off of a spur?
If I was doing the job, I'd fit 2 x 1G13A sockets in a dual pattress, but this technically means that one socket is a spur off of a spur (which is not allowed), while the overloaded 2G socket is.

Have you checked the wattage of each appliance?.Are they the newer energy saving ones?Can I run a dishwasher and washing machine off a double socket which is off a spur
So you have a single socket, and want to make it into a double? If so, fit double pattress and a 1G socket in each.
As I wrote above, technically contrary to regs, but safe.
