How many sockets can you run off one spur?
A spur can be connected to an existing socket, on either a ring main or a radial circuit, providing that socket does not already have a spur. That is only one spur per socket is allowed and the number of spurs must not exceed the number of sockets.
How many sockets can you run off another socket?
you can have maximum one double socket as a normal spur but if you are going from socket to FCU fused at 13 amp from there you can add as many sockets as you wish as all the sockets and cable will be protected by the fuse so no chance of overloading the cable the fuse will blow first.
How do you extend a ring main circuit?
The best way of using junction boxes to extend a ring circuit, is to find the length of cable between the two sockets on the existing ring closest to the desired extension area. Once located it can be cut in the middle giving two lengths of cable from the existing circuit to use in the extension.
Can I add a socket from another socket?
You can either run this from an existing socket, or from a junction box that’s connected into the cable run of a suitable ring circuit.

The reason for not running two spurs from the same spur “point” is that it can lead to possible overloads in that one leg of the final can become unbalanced and exceed the max.
How many sockets can you daisy chain?
Two triple sockets each protected by its own 13A fuse is no different from one twin socket spurred off a ring circuit. So yes two daisy chained is ok.
