The consumer unit in my daughter's flat has had water dripping all over it due to a pipe leak in the flat above. The leak has been stopped and things are now drying out.
Before my daughter returns to the flat I want to be sure that the electrics are safe. The flat is rented, the problem has been reported to the agency who look after the flat. They (the agency) sent a chap around to the flat who advised my daughter that "it was all fine". However, when she asked the agency if this chap was a qualified electrician they said no. This slightly worries me.
I assume that following a good soaking, the electrics need to be inspected and tested before they can be deemed to be safe? Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards,
Steve
