and the last socket on the right does NOT have a wire coming out to somewhere else ??
just 1 wire in - OR maybe the out wire goes in the wall and you cant see it

Well, since your diagram shows working sockets EITHER SIDE of the boiler switch, we can eliminate the boiler switch for the time being.

 

[ETAF]

it should likely be a RING - a Radial its often thicker wire than i think i saw , not great photo of wire - ring 2.5mm radial maybe 4mm

A RING - comes out of the consumer units - connects all the sockets IN and OUT and then goes BACK to the Consumer unit
A Radial - comes out of consumer unit and connects all sockets IN and OUT - BUT stops at the end of the circuits on last socket

on the consumer unit - as asked before which MCB turned OFF the kitchen

you have a B32 MCB labelled sockets (maybe a RING main ) and a B20 MCB labelled sockets (Maybe a Radial or a RING split - as no labels shown on ALL the other MCB's

 

[sparkwright]

Have you loosened any of the socket fronts off the wall to do your diagram?
If so, were there any loose wires?
I'm NOT suggesting you start taking anything apart at this time of night. Or ever.
But I must remind you, ALWAYS make sure the power is off, and to work safely, when doing all electrical work.

I don't know what that means?

No I didn't touch any sockets. Only what I could see behind cupboards

Ok, was part of the previous post as well , explaining you picture

wait till morning , when light - I'm in UK and will be around tomorrow - so can help further as i'm sure more members will also be around as this is a good responsive forum

 

[ETAF]

when you do get up tomorrow and start to look at the problem again - JUST a suggestion - re-read all the posts here from the start and just check through each post and make sure you have answered - as often happens , with lots of suggestions and when you are also dealing with "stress" of a problem , things are missed and a suggestion from maybe the first few posts may answer the question OR an answer to one of the questions may help isolate the issue quicker

Just a thought - when up and fresh

you have a B32 MCB labelled sockets (maybe a RING main ) and a B20 MCB labelled sockets (Maybe a Radial or a RING split - as no labels shown on ALL the other MCB's

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.

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.

The sockets in the kitchen that AREN'T working appear to be a lower, more modern height, compared to the ones that ARE working in the kitchen. Which to me suggests the lower ones are a newer addition.
Perhaps.

Just skimming over posts. The builder wired the kitchen when it was getting renovated about 15 years ago, so ithe kitchen was s done all at the same time.

Also haven't found any fuses connectors in the kitchen cupboards. Also there isn't a kitchen consumer unit.

The green = working
Red = not working

Black circle = where i can directly see and follow the wires when I peak down under the boiler cupboard. Nothing is hidden and obscured from view.

Picture is of the area I've circled in black on the diagram.

Green circles = working
Red circle= not working
Pink = visible wires I can see / trace
White rectangle= socket out of sight I drew in

* Pink wires connect to the fused connector under the boiler

Green = working
Red = not working
Pink = wires that are visible to me
White rectangle= socket out of view
Blue square = fused connector

There are a few other socks on the left out of the picture frame. They are on the green side and are all working.

1.. What happened... I was fiddling with the toaster that was plugged in the socket I've circled red.

I got shocked by the toaster, all sockets to the right immediately stopped working / stopped getting power (including the toaster socket) .

All sockets to the left of the socket circled red continued to work as normal and get power (including the boiler).


2. I remember when the kitchen was originally being renovated was rewired with the renovation and roughly how the guy did it (as in the wire layout).

My knowledge of electrics is very limited. So don't know exactly details or anything in-depth.

Just remember him connecting it up in the left side of the kitchen (the green socket area). Then fitting sockets working his way around in a semi circle fitting sockets and linking to the next in line.

As Pete suggests - Turn every MCB off, and press the blue buttons marked 'test', on both RCD's, then push all of them back up again, to the on position. Keep a torch to hand, when doing that, because the lights will go out.

Tried this. It didn't resolve anything
