Just to clarify 17th edition these new twin rcd consumer units are not actually compliant. Looks like lots are being fitted as they are cheaper and
being claimed as 17th edition but the only true way to achieve compliance with 17th edition is to have a RCBO on every single circuit. IMHO this is
the *best* way to do it anyway to avoid nuisance tripping but certainly not the cheapest.
100% correct. Split boards didnt techincally comply with 16th either, but it does seem to be largely overlooked by everyone. A board full of rcbos is
expensive though!
Basically a fault on one circuit isnt meant to affect the operation of any other circuit; having circuits grouped onto rcds doesnt comply with this.

what company is it pete? If you dont mind me asking.
A Local company, The Little ktchen factory, all sorted now, cable replaced, and proper permanent pipe fittings. Not a quibble, and the fitters seemed
happy enough to redo the bits.
Was prepared with the info off here, mentioned standards and IEE, they just sorted it.
Thanks to all...
