Pulled in cable tonight for a 2kw water heater, under sink in a shop tonigh. The cable is run in attic ,then PVC conduit surface down wall . I am certain I can install just an mcb as its all on surface and won't be touched by anyone bar myself,

agree and give me confidence or shoot me down ..
 
I'm gonna stick my neck out here and say, technically, you are correct as it is all surface mounted etc then there is no need for an RCD, but for the extra 20 quid, why risk it? Only my 2p worth...
 
I do facility maintenance an they Rcbo everything .. But if not required and zs is sweet which it will be... I have decided it doesn't need 1. Ty for your thoughts..
