Rcbo or mcb

[i=p/u]

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 ..

Not a socket outlet and all surface run cable so no RCD required.

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...
