Morning all, i plan on extending ring circuit, installing additional 13A socket in the room.

Plan of action was to install black 30A junction box under floorboard to one of the legs. However after some research on this forum, junction box must be easily accessible and not suitable for the job. I'm not too sure if i will either go with carpet or permanent laminate flooring.

What would you guys suggest, 3 wagos inside existing backbox and extending from that

Or

Wago box under floorboard

Or blue crimps again inside the boxbox.

Thank you in advance.
 
wagos in existing socket box for me. if only 1 socket added, no need for FCU. unless you don't want to chase decor. in that case a MF box under floor.

Why not extend the circuit from the sockets themselves? Removing the need for any junction boxes.
 
Screwfix have gaping holes in their catalogue .........
Must have been a glitch somewhere then Mate, when I worked for them the stock control was very good.
The OP intends extending the ring, not spuring off from the ring.
I would use crimps in the back box.
If the OP spurred from the nearest socket outlet, then he wouldn't need to crimp anything!
