so the tails will require overcurrent protection as well. and if buried, RCD

Upstream?! Overcurrent protection is provided by the distributor 100a fuse, no? As for an RCD where the eff would that go? I can't be doing with that faff, and I haven't even seen the current installation since early Jan. I think she's gonna have to come to terms with some home truths. When I first visited her she asked me to fit a 25kw instant water heater!!

reason i said overcurrent protection was that from what you've said about the location of the CU, the tails would be > 3m. then paretly buried in the plaster.
