    eart leakage poss?

    Also, if you have just changed the CU, all circuits should now be protected by RCD, including the lighting so in effect the CU should have been a dual RCD type. Not necessarily, depends on type of wiring it could be in conduit or BS8436 cable.

    Achieving separation of circuits in small CU

    Mains powered smokes taking live off the light switch

    I've said about neutrals at switches before, but everybody on here says it's ok, therefore you are alright to pick up supply from the switch. I've got a feeling that it's ok to feed smokes from lighting circuit as long as they heve battery back up.

    rented accomadation

    The frequency of inspection in GN3 is only a guide,and only really applies to the time from installation to the first periodic, after that it's up to the spark doing the periodic, use your own judgement ,if the place is well maintained you may set a longer period between tests.
