As long as it's the same consumer unit (fuse box), you should be okay.
Those 'switches' are MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers), BTW.

In a properly wired house upstairs and downstairs ring mains will always
be separate.  In a house with a large footprint, each floor may well be
subdivided.  In modern homes, it's also usual to separate the kitchen in
any case, due to the large number of electrical appliances therein.
Each of them often requiring, relatively speaking, high currents.  Think
toaster, kettle, washer, dryer, etc.  Also, if the electrician doing the
work likes to be really fastidious, fridge and freezer will have their
own supplies.
