Thanks for all the replies regarding my original question. Ive been away for a while so havent posted. Its nice to have a cordial debate, unlike the sf forum!
Just to clear a few things up.
The board was installed in august 09. The main intake and board is in the cellar. This board supplys the nursery and a seperate flat above. (currently, and at the time of board change un-occupied).
It is a split load board with all lighting + cooker supply (which includes socket) on non RCD side. All sockets on RCD side.
All bonding good.
I have since talked to the installer. His lads did the board under his instructions using the board he supplied them. His argument was the EAW regs "Instructed persons" one. When i mentioned the upstairs flat he said this was not designated a dwelling by the owner so he didnt treat it as one.
In my quote for the works requested, ive gone for replacing the mcb to rcbo on the lighting circuit ill be working on. Just to satisfy my own concerns.
Onec again thanks for the discussion!
