    Boiler heating up but not getting through to central heating or hot water

    Unbelievably, it was just the reseting of the nest controller that got it working. There's a day I will never get back. Thanks for the suggestions

    Light not getting power

    Traced the wire from one switch to the other but the wire that feeds power to them disappears in to a wall I can't access. I would be surprised if there was a junction box hidden between that point and the fuse box.
