If the second sparky doesn't sort you out tell him you'll get another sparky in to sort it and bill him for it.

I do know a good electrician in your area who does appear on this site if you get stuck.

Turned the kettle on, went away for 5 mins, came back to kitchen floor covered in water and no 'lectric So not to be blamed on my own clumsiness (for once!)
