    Soffit lighting

    They will all rust eventually, but IP65 should be good for number of years. Not sure about more decorative ones but many now use plastic rims with a metallic finish so no rusting there.

    UK Fuseboard layout design Recommendations

    Sounds like you need 3 phase. House, Garage, Boiler. Boiler and garage on separate HRC switchfuses rather than in the DB. If they are already drawing 60A adding a 14kw boiler is going to push/exceed a 100A supply. Don't forget you need to obtain permission from DNO before connecting heavy...

    Rcbo keeps tripping

    Isn't that RCD to 'the left' a 2 module RCBO? Also check the tightness of that solid neutral to the neutral bar as these are prone to working loose and burning out.

    G-TAG 490X help or upgrade

    Emergancy work flow

    I wouldn't bother, I've been doing call outs for over 10 years now. It's not great having to stop what you are doing to attend a problem.

    Snakes and ladders.

    Reminds me of trying to get out of a loft in a new build.
