Single Pole Fused Spur From Ring Main

Just to clear out a few points to understand where I'm coming from: I work in IT (Comms) where the work has to be planned very methodically to make sure you don't f*** up, leaving a few thousand users having a long break while you try to fix it. Then I a'm bit of control freak...Probably you...

I appreciate your advise and I will take it on board. To arrange the kitchen how we want we have to turn 180degrees the CU. It is not a full reallocation.
