Can you not buy split load boards where there are some ways that are not part of either bank, that you can then add RCBO's to if you want?

Also Driver, if you have a spare £25 then think about getting this. It will be a good read.

Well you can separate the board out however you like - but obviously with doing this you'd still have some circuits protected by a common RCD - I just meant if cost was no issue then RCBO's would be less of a nuisance should a fault occur.

Hi Driver I see that you have been a member for 5 years with only 5 posts during that period, Have you got any electrical experience.
The reason for my question is we are more than happy for members to offer up advice and guidance on the latest products available and their preferred install methods but not to hand out an actual wiring diagram to soeone with no experience or qualifications.
Maybe the best thing would be to have a chat with the Electrician you're using for the job and see if he is willing to help you out. but in themeantime feel free to get advice on the other aspects of your question.

This should be in DIY.

You should consider a Hi integrity board or a RCBO board. Do not agree to a dual RCD board.
