Thanks Steve,
Not easy to run a separate feed to the fridge so guess I'd have to try it on a RCD & see if there was a problem.
There is a socket on the cooker unit but there's an unoccupied double socket next to it so no problem changing the cooker to a no socket type.
Burglar alarm can be on it's own circuit & left of an RCD.
How strongly wold you feel about not putting lighting on an RCD? Upstairs & downstairs could be two separate RCBOs.
I suspect that the main problem I'm going to have is that there isn't a lot of room where the existing consumer unit is - squeezed above the meter board. It'll be a minor miracle if the cables have enough slack in them to reach a repositioned consumer unit.
I'm assuming that it's not straightforward to have the meter moved down 6 inches?
