If you only want it for the kitchen just hire it.

If it was a missing earth shouldn't this tester pick that up and not just guess at L N reverse

New plaster won't help it dry if it's a small area buy some damp seal and re decorate this will stop the damp patch coming thought the paint and it will dry naturally If you want to dry it out first put a dehumidifier in the room and leave it running for a few days and then retest It's hard...

Socket tester gives all other outlets in the house all clear So I'm assuming that the circuit is at fault unless the tester has a mind of its own and is taking the **** out of me

Thanks to all I'm going to kill the circuit and extend a ring I know to be safe to power the two problem sockets I hope they like mini trunking

Sorry left the job now so no pictures And yes the cable does run under the floor of the newly carpeted bedroom, landing and stairs

If the repair is external and no work was carried out inside( I assume the readings are internal) hire a dehumidifier

I'll let you off I have spent countless hours helping out sparks wiring houses But fault finding is a pain in the arse especially when you don't know what has happened in the house before

Thanks well said phatboy I am not a novice when it comes to electrics having been a carpenter for over 15 years you pick up knowledge I know there's a fault I know there's no problem with my testing equipment And I know all visible terminals are wired correctly The only way the polarity can...

Plug tester is fine (tested it when I got home) all visible connection on the circuit (two sockets and the fuse board) are wired correctly. I assume there must be a connection under the floor.

20amp fuse fuse wire v old board I have recommended upgrade But for the time being pulled the fuse out of two faulty circuits and told the mother in law not to put them back in.

I just isolated all circuits except the one with the fault and the only two outlets that work are the two with the fault. Out of interest I checked another socket on another storage heater circuit and this one has no earth. It's going to be a long day!

The other socket is "looped" the wire is only bent and not cut and yes its reverse

I have just changed some faceplates and in doing so discovered that one single socket is powered by the old storage heater supply the socket tester showed live neutral reverse but this is wired correctly. This socket is back to back with another socket which is also wired correctly. The board...

That the sort of thing Thanks
