spur off spur

[karter]

Some advice would be very much appreciated.
On hacking off water damaged plaster in a conservatory I found that the feed for 4 double sockets along the wall had been taken from a single spur in the adjoining lounge with a 13 amp FCU in between the lounge spur and the 1st conservatory socket. It is not easy to turn the lounge spur into part of the ring due to fixed units and decorating. I would like to know taking into account that I understand that the total cumulative load on the 4 sockets must not exceed 13 amps (1) is this safe (2) is it legal
(3) will the 13 amp FCU protect the lounge spur and ring?.
Thanks in anticipation.

The FCU needs to be before the first socket on the spur.

If you are in doubt, refusing the circuit at 20A will ensure safe operation until you can rectify properly

Do you mean that the FCU is connected into the back of a socket which is itself on a spur? If this is what you mean, and if it's a single socket, and if you can live without it being there, put the FCU where the socket is.

Yep, and if you really cant do with out the socket, put it where the fused spur was
