Hi daughter had water coming through her lights from flat upstairs and it tripped the sockets off as well as the lights, any simple explanation so I can then tell her why the sockets also tripped ?
Thanks

Probably both circuits on the same RCD, which is probably what tripped.
 
Well it's something to look for... Post picture of Consumer Unit if not sure.

If the socket wiring is in the ceiling void, it's possible water has travelled through the conduit, down the wall and into the socket.
