I have Storage heater in my front room, can I remove this? They are linked to a fused switch, can I remove this switch and replace it with a normal switch or remove it totally and extend a spur from my current ring??

Yes you can remove the heater - prepare to be colder.
If you are removing the heater altogether you may wish to remove the switch as well having disconnected the circuit at the consumer unit.
If you are moving the heater to another part of the room then the heater should be run in as a new radial from the consumer unit.
Dont forget many of the older storage heaters contain asbestos so dont go dismantling it without checking from manufacturers or your local Environmental Health first.
