A little guidance please

So I have finished the work with no problems. I am having it signed off today, but the sparks reckons I need a 100A 100mA rcd as the main breaker.

My current layout is this

100A main breaker

3 Circuits not rcd protected are
radial - Hob - currenty not in use
radial - 2 oven circuits - only one in use at present

80A 30mA RCD
Upstairs ring (7 2g sockets)
Downstairs lights
Service ring (2 2g sockets)
Kitchen ring (4 2g sockets, two un-switched 1g sockets protected by 13A fcu and boiler protected by 6amp fcu)

80A 30mA RCD
Downstairs ring - front of house (5 1g sockets)
Downstairs ring - rear of house (2 3g sockets, 3 2g sockets)
Upstairs lights
smoke alarm

Do I really need the 100A 100mA rcd?

Your smoke alarms (In Red) should either be on it's own dedicated circuit, not protected by an RCD that is protecting other circuits, or should be fed from a regularly used lighting circuit.

Thanks for the heads up Jud. I realised this after posting on here and changed it to being on a non rcd protected circuit. It was always on it's own dedicated circuit with a 6A mcb


On another note, who's responsibility are the tails between the fuse and the meter? Just noticed that a bit of the conductor is showing where it goes into the meter, and my supplier reckons it's my responsibility. I was under the impression that they were responsible for everything up to the meter?

I am with british gas btw....

The tails between the fuse and the meter are not your responsibility. Only equipment after the meter belongs to you.
