I realise this may be sacrilege, but I can't see it as any different to a Gang socket...
Can you buy a single three pin plug with multiple kettle or shaver plugs....
It seems like something somebody would make but I can't find one online at all?
Anyone come across one?

Do you mean a single plug with multiple sockets? - well yep, but the easiest way is a 4 gang extension lead? That way they only use 1 length of wire for 4 sockets rather than 4 lengths of wire.
There are computer leads made that are single plug and 2 x IEC sockets (eg 1 plug, 2 IEC plugs 1 for PC and 1 for screen)

I'm actually looking for the reverse,
Behind the tv is a shambles, I want one plug, with cable to behind equipment, then it'll split off into two kettles and two shavers.....

I have a double IEC lead that only has one plug (to go into the wall). It looks like this:

Can you get multiples? I have no idea.

Jaybee, this solution will work for you. Simply cut off the existing 13 amp plugtops and fit four cables into this plugtop. Slightly fiddly but doable.
