The power feed is unlikely to have to have much capacity as it should be
off a fused unit somewhere and is probably fused at 3A or so.

There is a fused box beside it, quite possibly 3A (intelligently placed
where it's next to bloody possible to get the fuse out, so I ain't gonna
play with it now just to find out its rating!).

Shouldn't the spur feeding it all be in 2.5mm cable though ... ie. before
the fuse?


Normally yes.
(But it doesn't have to be if an appropriate breaker is fitted in the
circuit (e.g. in the consumer unit)).

It may be an appropriate place to take another feed from.
