Default Newly fitted consumer unit query -

I had a new consumer unit fitted over the weekend and the fitter has
connected the ring main sockets to 2 separate 32A MCBs. i thought
these were supposed to go to the same MCB. Will this need to be
changed?

Also what amp should the connection to the alarm system be as it was
previoulsy 32A in the old fuse box and it is now on a 16A MCB, is this
correct?

Finally how did he replace the consumer unit. He wouldn't have worked
live so how can i isolate the power to the consumer unit to correct
the socket wires and if i needed to install any further MCBs in the
future.
