No RCD on entire installation

Not new circuits then.

This radial is directly below the CU. The ring final circuit I added a spur to has cables buried in the wall.

Only the work you install needs to comply so if existing cables are in walls but the ones you install are not then you don't need an rcd for cables in the wall anyway.
If you want to improve the installation it's up to you and the paying client

Minor Works then, what does the new spur do.

It feeds a double socket in a small office to power a computer.

IMO, he has made alterations to the circuit, at the very least the spured socket should be off a RCD FCU or up front RCD in closure for the circuit in question.

Regs give 2 exceptions for not providing rcd protection to sockets up to 20amps and one is for providing one item of equipment suitably labelled for its purpose if you wanted to go down that route

So I could simply label the 2 double sockets for the servers and inform the client. Could I also label the spur as this is connected to an existing circuit.

It thought it was one double socket ?

One double socket on the spur and 2 double sockets on the reinstated radial.
