Yep.

If youre putting heavy loads on it, yes, but if it isnt running any
3kW heating devices then youre unlikely to need to upgrade it. Heavy
loads would include washing machine, 3kW kettle (but not a 1.5kW one),
3kW fan heater, dishwasher, 6 slice toaster, basically anything that
involves the full 3kW of heat output.

You could run a whole flat on 13A if you pick your appliances with
enough care. Dont, but its been done.
