[QUOTE="Mackey444, post: 519281, member: 34079"] So update to my saga! I am back on which is good! BG engineer could find no voltage on any of the taps or areas I was detecting it. He said he doesn’t generally trust the wands like I was using for accuracy (made by a company called Intey). Confirmed cross bonding and RCD more than sufficient. So that doesn’t solve the issue with my shower shocks but suggests I have had a very unfortunate red herring caused by the detector picking things up when off? So that will require further investigation with the power on. I cannot fathom what the detector is picking up, as it works as expected on other live wires. However I noticed that I get a very strong reading all over the felt on the roof of my loft where there is metal sheet gauze like material between my roof and tiles. Could this be related to my detector picking up something very minor from metal surfaces near the tv aerial which has remained live throughout (my neighbours also on same roof is boosted too)?
