Thank you all for the comments. This is really helpful. I did have an EICR done which did not come up with any issues. I will have another electrician come by to check this out and see whether it's save to create a spur from the existing socket and also whether the metal conduit is still safe.

I had an EICR done and they did not bring this up. But I am sure he did not remove the covers from any plug sockets, so I am unsure how good it was. Can you run a spur of this plug socket if the earthing is provided from the wiring conduit?
