Combined fused spur and socket?

[Hibbo]

Hello!

I'm going to be running a fused spur, it will be taken from where there is currently a standard double socket. In the interests of efficiency (ie laziness), I am wondering if a combined fused spur and single socket unit is available that would fit in the same back-box as the current double socket. I've never seen such a thing, and I'm guessing I'll have to install a new box for the spur, but I just thought I'd ask!

Cheers.

hibbo,
does the spur need to be fused?
how many sockets will you be running from it?
can you extend the circuit rater than spur?

The spur will be supplying a garden shed, that's why I want it to be fused (and switchable). I know the best plan would be to run it from an extra breaker at the CU, but I have decided to go with a spur from the kitchen.

It has to be flush mounted really, so for the work involved to fit the dual box I may as well just fit an extra single...

Thanks for the replies

How far away is the garden shed?

What will the load be in it?

What type and size of cable will you be using?

How will the cable be installed?

Is the circuit you're spurring from RCD protected?

What type of supply do you have?

Are there any extraneous-conductive-parts in the shed?

What tests will you carry out on the cable once installed?

Since it takes a 13a fuse surely it counts as a f/spur with sockets

I'd love to see you use one to supply a permanently connected cable on the load side of the fuse....

There will be two 60w lamps, and a couple of sockets (which will have nothing more demanding than basic power-tools plugged in to them). A 13A supply will be plenty.

I am using 2.5mm^2 SWA cable, the run will be about 30m. It will be secured to a brick wall.

The house has a TNC-S supply, and has a 30mA RCD protecting the kitchen circuit from where the spur will be taken.

There are no extraneous-conductive parts in the shed (it's entirely wooden)

I will Meggar the complete spur before I connect it to the FCU, and after connection I'll do an earth-fault-loop impedance test from the shed.

Thanks for you concerns, does my plan sound safe?
