    1. Socket 4 is where the toaster was plugged into. Sockets 4,5,6,7 immediately stopped working when I got a shock from the toaster. Sockets 1,2,3 all working fine (including the boiler) (I'm fairly certain how this is wired but can't be 100% sure as cables behind walls and hidden sockets...

    This is the last green socket location, the wire I have on my hand is the one that goes directly to the first of the red/not working sockets. As you can see it will be a bit of a nightmare taking the cover plate off. If have to start taking the kitchen unit apart. It's doable but rather...

    1. I feel confident turning all sockets off at the consumer unit. Removing cover plates carefully to have a look at the wiring/take a picture. Then putting them back on as found. Should I start with the first red socket? That's the socket where the toaster incident happened. The...

    I've just remembered something about the final socket. Originally when he was wiring the kitchen I told him I wanted an extra socket in the room next to the kitchen. So I'm pretty sure what he did was finish the kitchen, take the cable through the wall into the room next door. Fitted the...

    I think it is the thicker 4mm wire. If it is Radial Possibly the faulty toaster/ shock I got from it did something to the socket. Which is why every socket after the toaster immediately stopped working the moment I got shocked. And why all the sockets before it are still working fine...

    On can only see 1 a wire going to the left that goes into the working socket. Anything else will be behind the wall. I'm assuming it's connecting to the the non working socket to the right also.

    This turns off nearly all the sockets in the house. Kitchen, living room, upstairs sockets. The MCB one the right of the consumer unit that's "on" , only seems to affect a single socket that's located in the living room.
