Decided to get PIR done and correct any faults found. Most faults found I can do myself(before anyone says I can't do the work myself I'm 16th edition qualified and will inform local building control before starting and get it certified after completion,anyone know how much this costs).First thing I need advice on is, I have one 3 way fuse box in the cellar near the meter and the main 8 way fuse box at the cellar top. The 3 way supplies one ring,two radial and one light circuit,the ring and radials are downstairs and the spark said should be protected by a RCD,the ring powers 3 sockets in the lounge (tv equipment/stereo/lamps etc) and is very unlikely to be used for outdoor equipment, one radial is the cellar and the other radial is for a socket in the hallway, which is the best option to protect these circuits. I thought either a 100a dp 63a rcd 30ma split load(4+4 is the smallest I can find) or a 3 way 63a 30ma RCD unit
I'm going to replace the 8 way fuse box with a 100a 80a 30ma rcd 10 or 12 way split load consumer unit, the RCD will protect the dining room (tv equipment /computer) and kitchen ring (fridge freezer/dish/cloth washing machines) plus the 9.5kw shower,am I missing any thing. Obviously the the cooker the upstairs ring and lighting will be on the mcb side.
