When connecting a tumble dryer to any socket on the ring main or even a cooker socket the RCD will trip after 20 mins. After reset this time will drop to 10 before tripping, reset again and the time period will shorten to 30sec. Checked all connections in fuse box and sockets. Do you think it could be an earth problem.

Sounds more like a fault developing as the cable heats up due to poor connections.trip operates about 30Ma ot .03 0f an amp which is a pest but good in its own right.If you referring to one socket then remove that socket and check for any loose burning leads,Check the fusebox again for any of the above, good idea to run an independant earth around 10 mm cable to main box just in case earthing is bad..hope you get on ok.
