AFAIK all BS1363 FCUs are DP although that doesn't stop someone making up SP arrangements using grid parts.

i was thinking of the older FCUs that a lot were only single pole.

You could eliminate some of the appliances by plugging them in to an extension lead from another circuit? Maybe kettle toaster etc. One at a time though and make sure the lead is fully unwound.
