I know this is really stupid of me, but I am pretty sure I have drilled into a cable in the wall.
I was putting up shelves in a small bedroom two times that I drilled i got some white plastic on the drill bit. I didn't think anything else of it until I noticed the extractor fan in the kitchen below had stopped working.
What do I do now? The wall is newly plastered, and has fitted shelves on it. Bit I can't get to it from another side.
It's only now that I realise it is a false wall hiding pipes and cables. I suppose it could have been worse, but now I'm worried about leaving it in case there is a fire risk.
