Hi, thanks for the response. I've ruled out the security lights and there are no external sockets. I'll give your suggestion a go, hopefully find the suspect! Ok... just done what you suggested and the RCD hasn't tripped so its either socket 2 or 3!

So I checked the security lights & they were full of water, I traced the cable which was behind the fence to a plug that was plugged into........ a pile of leaves on the ground. So that's the lights ruled out. As for the cables, see attached photo. This is the spur and 1st socket, the second...

Hi, thanks for the response. There are 2 security lights on the back fence that to my knowledge have never worked - The wire disappears underground but I would think that these are fed from the garage, everything is still on in the garage. See attached file for a bit of context. Red -...

Hello, Recently moved house, everything was fine for 1 a month or so. One morning I woke up to no electricity, narrowed the issue down to the sockets at the consumer unit, following this I unplugged all appliances and tried flipping the switch back to no avail, last area in the house was the...
