Well, thanks guys. I took your advice to the letter and it seemed that a neutral cable had come loose on one of the double sockets. Replaced and tested with care and all is working great. Thank you once again. Just out of interest, how much would a spark have charged for a sunday call out...

The consumer unit is located in a small bathroom just s few metres away from the sockets in the lounge. Right, so you guys reckon turn off all the power, take out the suspect sockets (each of them with a decent screwdriver), and look for visual damage. Sounds a good idea to me, and...

Hi guys I consider myself pretty amateur at this - i'll rewire a socket or at a push put in a spur. However i'm completely confused by this one. I have a new build house and everything works great (as it should). I replaced the white sockets and light switches with chrome about a year ago...

Hi Just bought a house - 1st time buyer. Have yet to move in. I have a garage, but the garage is not attached to the house and has no lighting or power and i'd very much like to have both. How can I supply power for, say, two flourescent tubes, and a plug socket? Is there some form of battery...
