Thanks Monkeh- I thought the former owners had been fiddling with the circuits but its perhaps normal. I've found live wires hanging behind plaster board so I'm touchy on what has been done by them or the builders.
On the CU, I'm not ure whether its RCD or not (Im not there at the moment). I don't have any photos with me but I'll try and remember to take some tomorrow and post back.
To be clear, the fused switches are going to single sockets at the moment-it was my question as to whether change these to fused doubles would remove the need for the switch at all but for the sake of it, I think the switches can remain there and I'll just move the socket itslef (as Im moving the fridge a few feet). (When I say 'I'll move'-I mean I'll be getting someone to move for me- just to be very lear there)
Thank you for your help. Its answered a number of the queries I had. I will try and drop some pics on here tmrw.

So does that mean that a guy on the assembly line at Boeing knows how to fly a 787?

You need to talk to your electrician.
What exactly are the loose cables behind the plasterboard?
You say you have a 16 amp supply for the cooker, which later is described as a 32 amp supply. Are there two separate circuits?
Clarification needed.
The separate 6 amp circuit - a doorbell circuit perhaps?
You should maintain the switched fused spurs for easy isolation of appliances. Alternatively fit a 3 or 4 gang 20 amp switch bank in one single location above worktop. Appropriate fusing of each appliance needed.
No real need to add extra socket circuits from consumer unit - it's a newish house, and you aren't altering the electrical design that much imo.
Some houses still have a ring doing whole house.
Are most of the accessories in the correct place?
Need to know ratings of cooking devices and separate cooking circuits you may have ie cable sizes and mcb sizes.
