Ta Harry. House was built in the late 1890s and we're on an old style of wiring. Last time I checked the ceiling rose it was about 7 or 8 wires. Meter is in the living room cupboard. At the minute I'm guessing it goes living room, vestibule, kitchen. Or vestibule, living room, kitchen. When I...

Cheers. I'll post again if something stand out happens and when I get more info

Cheers to you everyone for the advice. Waiting on a couple more electricians getting back to me. I like doing a bit of DIY but something like this probably better to get an expert

Will do. I'll see if we have any of those telescopic cameras at my workplace. I really don't want to be taking up all the floorboards for a clear view of all the wiring

Probably answer this wrong but I've got a combi boiler

Well in that case I am buggered. I would not have a clue where to start with that. There hasn't been any strong winds here since last week, it's barely noticeable at the minute

Random question but if it was water ingress wouldn't it constantly trip out, like refuse to trip in at all? It's been just over 2 hours and hasn't tripped since.

It was powered using a mains plug, the cable went through the window and into the plug socket close by.

No outdoor lights at all. Had one when we first moved in 2008 but removed it shortly after, and that was mains powered. Definitely no signs of water ingress on the walls or ceiling. It tripped within 30 mins of rain starting. Rain was hitting front of house so need get a ladder out and check the...

Think I might have figured it out. Hasn't tripped since yesterday morning. Just nipped upstairs, nothing on in house and it's just tripped. It is raining at the minute. Water somehow getting in and hanging around so even though it doesn't rain for a couple of days the water is still present...

Not a bad shout about swapping the switches. And yeah driving me mental. Absolutely no pattern to it at all. Even tried jumping around upstairs to see if that triggered it

Going to start keeping a log. This is what I have so far 13/02. Went bed around midnight, lights on. Got up about 6am this morning, lights off. 14/02. 8:26 Tripped out. Sat on couch, just kitchen lights on. Washer on. Amazon echo listening to radio. No traffic going past house. Tripped in then...

Sorry I was more replying to the other suggestion of unplugging things. Couple of examples, watching telly last night. Both me and the wife sat on the couch, no lights on and then I heard the switch flick. Went bed and everything was fine around 21:30. Got up at 4:30 and they'd tripped during...

Yeah it's really difficult at the minute because there's no was to predict when it will happen. I can go 2 days without it happening so it's hard to unplug something one at a time. We love on a main road so plenty of wagons go past but the house hasn't shook when it has happened. Just doing my...

I'm off work this weekend so I'll try it then. Spinning plates right now

Ta mate. I've got someone else coming

Testing the circuit, would that be testing each of the individual wires?

Not sure if you've seen but I've attached a pic of it on this thread. It's a yellow test button

Cheers everyone. Had a guy come out today. He found a faulty bulb that was slow powering down and a loose wire in the ceiling rose. It just tripped again so I've been in touch and he said next step would be replacing the breaker box. Then after that taking up the upstairs floorboards to check...

Ta mate. Forgot to mention i don't have outside lights. I don't have a socket outside as such but there is a conduit to one of my plug sockets. Would that not trip the sockets though instead of the lights? Cheers for the reply
