    Turns out there is a fan heater. Who's laughing now?:rolleyes:

    Me - still laughing at you! No heater was mentioned by the OP until post #20 and you are the one who said
    I'd say it was overloaded

    without knowing the facts.

    It is perfectly safe to use multiple gang socket boards to increase the number of socket outlets available, as protection is provided by the fused plugs.

    Health and Safety would certainly not be keen on 3Kw fans - they'd probably be powerful enough to knock the workforce off their feet !!!
