Great Thanks for that. When we've turned the trip off for the airing cupboard before, nothing else except that socket has turned off, which tell me it's just a spur, not a spur on spur.
The cable size to the Socket in the Airing Cupboard is 2.5mm and the Fuse is B16
Just to clarify, so i don't get myself confused.
If i change the socket in the Airing supboard for a FCU, i can then run 3 double socket off of the FCU. Do i do theese inline, so Double Socket onto double socket onto double socket, or do i run 3 cables from the FCU each to a seperate double socket ?
It does sound as if this circuit was originally the immersion heater circuit so it is highly likely that this socket is the only one on the circuit - and you appear to have confirmed that.
In that case you have two options.
You can leave the existing 16Amp MCB in place and simply extend the radial circuit with 2.5 T&E from the airing cupboard socket without any fcu.
Or and it will depend how much power you intend to draw on this extended circuit replace the MCB with a 20Amp version.
In all honesty though, 16Amps will give you over 3.5kw of power so unless you intend to use heavy duty (in terms of amps) machinery up there I would simply extend the current circuit as it is.
For wiring look here:

That makes things much simpler, now just to confuse things !
The Manufacturer of the Amplifier......Blake UK, reccomends hard wiring the amplifer as apposed to plugging it into a socket, So from what you've said i should be able to run a double socket from the socket in the airing cuboard, then run a FCU or connection unit off the double socket.
A Radial Circuit can several sockets without returning to the consumer unit, but are there any exceptions. EG: load or distance (just for future knoledge)
Thanks for the Advice, been most useful indeed.
