two separate boards
I have that. New board for the kitchen put in by the previous owners with fancy things like RCDs, our loft extension was added to some spare ways in that. The rest of the house is fed from a 'proper' fuse box with fuse wire and all that good stuff.
Meanwhile my parents house was 'recently rewired' when they bought it in 1971 and hasn't burnt down yet.

i'm getting a kitchen done at the moment and the electrics have to pass building regs
guys initially said they'd put a new CU in, but have since said they'll have to have two separate boards (the existing one, and a new one). This is because the rest of the electrics in the house wouldn't pass regs, and a single new CU would necessitate a full house rewire (which we don't want/can't afford!)
That all makes sense to me but thought I'd sense check it here too...
