I'm sure this has been asked before, but I just want to confirm:
Currently I have a spur leaving a socket in the bedroom, into a 13A Switched FCU and running up to power a double socket in the loft.
I now want to locate a socket in the old boiler cupboard/airing cupboard to power a tumble dryer (relatively low load heat pump unit).
The simplest way to do this would be to place a junction box in the loft and between the FCU and the loft double socket and run power back down to the socket the boiler cupboard.
Is this permissible/safe? And should I place another FCU before the boiler cupboard socket, or will the existing FCU on the loft feed be sufficient?
Ta.

- TL;DR
- If I run a spur from an existing spur, do I also need a seperate FCU for the new spur?
