Out of interest, how many circuits are being protected by the single RCD?

There's a total of five circuits, all on B32 MCBs. They are three
rings for sockets, one unused radial for the cooker (changed from elec
to gas hob, so not needed now), and one radial for a shower steam
unit.

Having all the house sockets on one RCD can often be enough to get close
to the trip limits. Especially if you have a house full of electronic
gadgets.

Shifting stuff like kitchen circuits off to a separate RCBO can
sometimes make all the difference to nuisance trip problems.
