[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 394786, member: 6969"] Well if you are going to have a full rewire eventually, get the consumer unit updated NOW to one large enough to take all the circuits when you have the full rewire. And of you have one room with no sockets at all, wire the sockets you want in that room as a new radial circuit from the new CU. That can then later be extended to form part of a ring final when you get the rewire done. To bodge anything onto the old fuse box under these circumstances would be plain madness and a waste of money. For there to be so few existing sockets can only mean it is a very old installation and well over due for a rewire. [/QUOTE]
