Just to check something - if I am going for RCBOs as

What circuits are you planning on the rewire?

And it is nice to see someone using RCBOs and not just a dual
RCD CU.

Sure, but most builders (especially for new houses) just use a
dual RCD CU because it's the cheapest way to comply, isn't it?

Just fitted this in a new build house today:-)

Plus the phase conversion kit. It's only a single phase supply to
the house. As a general rule I aways give the smokes their own
independant
RCBO.

Yes, I fitted one of these (actually a slightly larger version) a
while ago along with the single phase conversion kit, and have RCBOs
for each circuit. I love the space inside for wiring up compared to
a normal CU.

This one is not all RCBOs. The electric gate, door entry, alarm, boiler and
CH are just using MCBs.

What is REALLY needed is a bus bar that supplies RCBOs with both the live
and neutral connections so that you could just slot the RCBO into place and
then just connect the circuit wires to the RCBO.
