Historical question WRT 15 amp sockets.

broadgage

ISTR that in an old edition of the then IEE regs, that two socket outlets each of the unfused 15 amp type could be connected to a 25 amp fuse.

Have found a number wired thus in a large old house. Possibly pre-war, wired in MICC and still in good condition.

    If the wiring is OK, as a 4mm - well more like 4.5mm2 - radial,  you could probably add as many 13A sockets as you like, either hard-wired or plugged into the 15A socket, fit a 32A RCBO and declare compliance to a much later version of the regs..
