The wall actually bowed out a bit and thinking it was just a blob of plaster I scraped it with a scraper and cut the insulation of the wire- it must have been less than a millimeter of plaster on top of a wire that was actually proud of the wall FFS!
I will repair/replace the wire chase out the wall and put the wire deeper. And make a better job of the plastering lol. In regards to RCD there is definitely one fitted but it's under the stairs which is packed with junk so I'll have to check it later.
Thanks for your answers everyone I'm just shocked (nearly literally!) at how shallow the wiring can be!
