Good afternoon,
Despite best efforts not to, I've managed to nick a wire during the drilling of a hole through plasterboard.
My wire detector didn't pick it up, and (to my knowledge) it's in just about the safest of 'safe zones' possible. The picture isn't very good, but the copper is exposed - seemingly not particularly gnarled though. There was no pop, no trips on the consumer unit etc.
I've contacted my normal spark but he hasn't got back. I've got to go away for a couple of days as of tomorrow, and wonder how desperate it is to get this fixed, and what to do next.
I understand that I'll have to remove more plasterboard to get to it. Is the best method perhaps just flicking all the CB's off then sawing a neat square?
Edit: I should add that other than there being a radiator on each side of the wall, there are no sockets or light switches whatsoever.
