Hi I am after some help. My mums flat has a swtich fcu spurred off a double socket (main ring) the switch fcu then has a double socket that has the fridge plug in (tho in the front room as kitchen to small to have out there). I know she now needs a new socket installed on this wall between fridge n fcu to have her new electric fireplace pluged in. Can it be daisy chained off socket spurs (tho fridge in one socket and fire in the other) or do we need another fcu in there somewhere to stop the draw and overload from 2 power hungry appliances? Any advice please?
 
This is the fire that's needed to be installed. Problem is no socket near location of fireplace. There is a switch fcu off main ring double socket that runs to a double socket, so didn't no if it's OK to add a socket between spur and fcu or if another fcu to break the spurs up as one will have a fridge and other the fireplace. If not safe then please advise me? Kind regards Gemma
