My understanding of the rules reaches the same conclusion as you. However the engineer concerned maintains the TBO is 1800 + 20% by virtue of a type specific AIC which extends the original 1400 hours in the UK.. Since there is no search engine on the NATS/AIS website I have been singularly unable to find this document. Since I need to be sure of my facts before I spoil the owner's day - and that of the engineer - I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and phone the big grey building at Gatwick.
