Yes, fan was wired directly into the fused connection unit, no added plate, no switch on fcu, just a box with wires and a fuse. Yes, I want to use the existing wires in that box to wire in a socket. Can't remember what the wires were like when I isolated them, been a few months now. I'll have a...

Thanks. I had thought of that but I'll need to wire it up to the socket first because there's no way of doing that at the moment. The wires are isolated and nothing is powered by that spur to find out if it's active. I'll let you all know how it goes once I do it. Thanks for all the replies so far.
