Yes i'm fully qualified i just come from a heavy industrial background and am doing the job as a favour for a family member, just general info on what type of board to use (split load, rcbo's etc) and what brand do most prefer to use

If price not an issue go for an all RCBO board. Makes rectifying any latent faults a lot easier and reduces nuisance tripping. If price is an issue you got to go with twin RCD type.

I have used Hager/Niglon & Crabtree Starbreaker in the past for both, IMO they are the the easiest to work with if you want to achieve a nice neat job. They also have a little more "headroom" for all the flying leads.
