Sorry, yeah you're right, 80A fuse and switch.
I also want to run a 3kW single phase compressor in the garage (which is currently an unfused spur on the kitchen ring main) so I'm concerned that the 16 sq mm from the switch to the CU isn't up to it.
As I said, I'm not an electrician, hence the request for some advice before I start getting quotes to put in larger cable.
As the CU is right in the middle of the house it's going to be a PITA to get access to run the new cable.
