Son has a new-ish (12 years old) house; the previous owner wired a TV amplifier in the loft into the upstairs lighting circuit using a "chocolate block" wrapped in insulating tape (see photo.) Understandably the TV repair firm asked to update/repair the aerial and amplifier won’t touch it, and want a socket in which to plug the new amplifier. There is no ring main wiring in the loft, AFAIK.
What I am considering is putting in a connection box (3-terminal 30A) and connecting this to a Switched Fused Connection Unit (SFCU) - I happen to have an old one - with a 3-amp fuse in it, and connecting this to a (single) socket - (and labelling them both with "3-amp MAX" notices.) The connections will use 2.5 T&E cable.
Is this a safe (if unorthodox) way of working, please?
