Can all the RCD's go back to the main fuse box or do these all need to be inline of each circuit?
So I have to fit smoke detectors?
RCD's are fitted inside the consumer unit (fuse box)
17th edition requires two also know as a split-load dual rcd board. (Or you can fit all RCBOs instead but theyre about £25 each so could cost you a fortune)
And yes, smoke detectors are compulsary now, think you can get away with the long-life 10yr battery ones but if your re-wiring it would be silly to not fit inter linked mains smoke detectors with a heat detector in the kitchen.
Theres alot more to it than just re-doing the sockets and lights!
As Matt mentioned, ventilation is important too, bathrooms and kitchens need proper extraction/filtration
