I was told to never turn this switch off - and to be honest I'm not 100% sure if this is the immersion, sorry - it's a good job I have a desk job ;)

Ah right, ok - thank you for all your help and time, it is very much appreciated :) .. I will tell the estate agent, they asked me to update this post and let them know.. followed by a "wish all tenants were this helpful" - only helping the trades, good bunch of guys and to be honest it's...

Think the boiler engineer was 'covering himself' by replacing it.. said it looked old and was probably ticking things off the 'possible cause' list one by one. So do you think it's wiring in the boiler or electrical wiring elsewhere in the house? It just seems really weird how it's been ok since...

Hi, thanks for your post. I will have to ask the electrician about the earth continuity, resistance values, insulation resistance. As far as nicking cables, I've done nothing like you describe in the past few months. Been here just over 2 yrs and this is the first time this has happened. One...

Hi. 3 wks ago, my heating came on through the programed timer. 6-7 minutes later the electric for the whole house went out. The distribution board was old with only one RCD which was extremely 'dodgie'. This has now been replaced but same thing is happening. Over these 3 weeks the electrician...
