In my opinion you are pushing it a bit. Also one day the appliances may change, but the twin socket will still get used. In my utility room, I have two separate single sockets for the washing machine and tumble dryer (part of the ring final). This is based on experience of fully loaded sockets (even MK) overheating.
If you have the chance you could:
By the way - fuses will not prevent the overheating problem, so don't rely on them.
If you have the chance you could:
- (BEST) extend the ring final through two new single sockets (can be mounted in a Dual Accessory box), or
- (IF YOU HAVE TO) run two spurs to single sockets (these would preferably come from different places on the ring, but don't strictly have to)
