    Alternative to spurs for appliances

    Got a few spurs in a kitchen for appliances but customer doesn't like the look of a fused spur. Is there any other way like 20a dp switched or 45a 1g cooker switch or are these more hassle?

    Hello all.. I have recently added a spur for a customer and it got me thinking again about how many spurs could I actually take from the same socket!
