Running a 4 gang off a spur

[CrazeUK]

Hi all.

I have an area of the kitchen with no work surface and no electric supply. I want to make this area usable and move the coffee machine (1kw, assuming 4.5amps) and baby steriliser (600w assuming 3amps) to that area without making huge modifications to the electrics.

The current kitchen ring is behind tiles.

The closest supplies are a washing machine (assuming 2.2kw / 10amps) socket (single, I assume is a spur) and the boiler.

Questions:
1. can I run a 4 gang socket from the washing machine to power both the washing machine, coffee machine and steriliser?
2. Can I swap the single from the washing machine to a double?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can change the single to a double, but try not to use another high power appliance on the socket at the same time.

Running these extra appliances off a four-way extension lead will be fine as the lead is protected by a 13A fuse in the plug, but again, be careful to what’s all running off it at the same time.

Buy a good quality extension lead with only enough flex as you need on it.

Thanks for the response. Will definitely consider that.

Also the washing machine is protected by the fuse on its cable and from a kitchen wall switch set that has all then individual appliances marked.

As an alternative, could I run it from the boiler supply (where the boiler fuse is) it is protected by the RCD?
