What is my 45 amp fused switch likely to be operating??

Hi. I have a feed off of my main fuse box to a 45amp fused switch. My problem is I've no idea what this operates. I've turned it off and still can't see what's not operating. I used to have an electric shower but it was removed a few years ago (by bathroom fitters). If it was for this I would have expected the switch to be disconnected, or at least turned off! My worry is that I have a live wire floating behind a wall! If it wasn't for the shower, any idea what it may have been for, before I disconnect something important, or start making holes in walls looking for a wire? Update.... Tried leaving it off. Have sussed out ( thanks to my teen daughters moaning) that it's been re-allocated from the shower to the air-pump jacuzzi thing on the bath. (Don't ask. Seemed like a good idea at the time....). It's still on the 45amp breaker, but with a 13 amp fused rcd further on before the pump. So... The question becomes .. Is this ok. A 45 amp circuit seems a bit hefty, but will the 13 amp rcd alleviate that?? If I actually trusted the fitters I'd be more confident but these nuggets fitted a toilet under a 4' combed ceiling. Rocket scientists obviously. :-/
