No, no DIY whatsoever, so only thing I can think of is wear, & tare of cables, or rodent damage (we have 4 cats). Do electricians have a mains cable version of a telecoms cable TDR, which can locate the distance from the end that the cable is damaged?

I have it disconnected in two locations, at the breaker, & at the rear of a double socket in the lounge, breaking the ring in the middle, so I think I have created one working radial. the other leg of 3 doubles in the kitchen is dead. To get a new cable in is gonna be a major job. My kitchen...

Guys, Please be gentle, I only qualified 5 weeks ago :oops: Have been asked by a friend to sort out an issue with his system. He has an unvented system, with a mid position, & a 2 port valve. He has only been in the house 3 weeks, & can only get hot water when heating called for. Both...
