No offense intend Pump it but if you have to ask questions such as the last one you are putting your customer's lives and property at risk! You could land yourself in alot of trouble. When you are dealing with mains voltage it is best to employ the services of a qualified electrician and preferably a registered electrical contractor.

BTW it is best not to spur off a socket circuit. No more than 10 double sockets are permitted per radial socket circuit and this circuit should not supply more than 2 rooms (a hall does not count as a room).
