If the CU in question is the Wylex standard type, or one of its clones,
a worthwhile low-cost upgrade is to replace the rewireable fuses and

Haven't you replaced that CU yet? I thought I was the one that
procrastinated :-)

I bought a split load Wylex CU over a year ago (from Screwfix) and was
going to change it myself, but as I had the kitchen re-hashed a bit
later and would have to (well, you know!) go some sort of 'official'
route I got the leccy who did the kitchen wiring to change the CU.

It all saved going 17th edition... The supply to the fridge/freezer
(using the old cooker supply ) is now a non-RCD radial feed (labelled
as such).
