My house was rewired 3 or 4 years ago and I have never had a problem

boiler that is also on the circuit but this does not help. Is there
anything obvious I can check or do I need to get an electrician in?

Make sure all the plugs are pulled out too -- just switching off
isn't necessarily enough to stop a faulty appliance tripping an
RCD.

Thanks for all the advice. I (think I) have disconnected everything
and have checked all the sockets for loose wires but the circuit still
causes the RCD to trip. I think I'm going to get a pro in and hope it
doesn't need rewiring!
