Hmm no… should they have looked for that? They did say the same as @monkey5 and @SPECIAL LOCATION above, that it’s most likely sth with a heating element or that the RCD can be a bit sensitive (before testing it). TBF we haven’t had it trip since. Should I get someone to look at it again?

Hello, just thought I’d give an update - electricians have been today and did a great job, and they basically said the same things as you guys did: to replace the consumer unit & also the damaged socket cover(?) but they also said it looks fine otherwise and no immediate risks etc. Phew! Now...
