    Kitchen wiring makes no sense!

    The fused switches are to fuse down your appliances they are part of the ringmain with a single leg spurring off to each socket, to do away with them you just swap them for double sockets but then you would have to remove the spurred sockets, why dont you just use them?

    Create double spur box from one

    I suppose so you`d have to change the fuse in the plug top though to an appropriate size.Is the fcu surface mounted? if so just swap it for a double box and connect the twin and earth into a double socket. Do you still use the immersion?
