Depends entirely on the loads that they have plugged into them! If it's kettles then there's your answerThree socket outlets in three different rooms fed with a 4.0mm twin and earth cable.

4.0mm twin & earth only has a current carrying capacity of 36amps, a 32amp BS EN 60898 circuit breaker has an I2 value of 47amps!If the cable is definitely 4mm then have a word with an electrician about changing the 20A breaker for a 32A breaker.

The replacement wire is, but I don't think Wylex, etc, have made the boards or BS3036 holders for many years now!Really this only applies for EICR now as no one in thier right mind would be installing BS3036 fuses, even if you could still buy them!
course you can. fuse wire on a card still available in wilko.
