Just an update - had the electrician in.  There was a high resistance between L/E on one of the cables in the ring.  Split the circuit up to solve the issue.  

I've switched 9/7/6 off and turned on circuit 8 on it's own and it trips the RCD.  I've also ensured all sockets are off and unplugged. I'll leave it to an electrician.  I hope it's an easy one to fix...

When I turn circuit 8 on, the RCD trips.  

Thanks for the insight.  I've attached a picture of the CU for reference.  So basically you're saying that even if circuit 8 is tripping.  It could be an issue with 9/7/6?

Yes - I checked removed all the faceplates to check for loose wiring. The only thing I've done prior to the issue is install a door stop.  However, the screw was only long enough to go into the skirting.

I've removed both fuses from the unswitched spurs to isolate the boiler and it still trips.  I also removed the N and L on the load side of the spur, however still no luck. This leaves just the sockets or the circuit itself as the problem.  Is there anything I can do to try and identify what...

Many thanks @Sharpend Just to identify the scenario's.  If after isolating the boiler it continues to trip the RCD.  I'd imagine an electrician is needed to check whether there's N/E issues in the circuit/ring.  I already had a quick look behind the sockets for loose wiring, but couldn't...

Hi All, I'm in the process of doing some light DIY (painting/cleaning) in a house I'm moving into (1930's, new wiring done 2014-ish) It essentially is a shell ready to move in with the basic white appliances inside and nothing else. I had the EICR tested 2 weeks back along with a boiler...
