If your kitchen has a back door leading to a garden then it would need an RCD protecting any sockets that are likely to be used for the garden.
It does seem a bit jobsworth but RCD's can save lives and asking them if it's avoidable probably got their back up. Not really your fault if you're trying to save money but they might have felt they were wasting their time at that point.

Thanks - it doesn't have a back door leading to the garden, though there is a side door not far (but not in the kitchen).
I'm more than happy to have one but just wished he'd told me when he first visited and when I was budgeting.
I didn't ask if it was avoidable, I just said, 'ok, can you quote for that too please'. Pulled the trigger on appliances now and can't find another spark in time so feel it's less jobsworth and more 'this guys fucked and I'm going to rinse him'.

Having been brought up in a home with fuse wire I always use an extension lead with an RCD on the plug. Which also means it gets tested every use. Hands up everyone that tested their consumer unit RCD in the last 3 months...
