[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 499869, member: 6969"] I found that when doing an eicr of an office. One double socket would not turn off. It turned out the office had been sub divided and we concluded that one socket was left being fed from the office next door, but they would not allow access to investigate, so they came to a gentlemans agreement not to use that socket. When you say your sockets are "on" what are you testing them with? Have you plugged a real load in to determine that they will power a proper load? Is there more than one consumer unit / fuse box? A common scenario is old redundant storage heater points re purposed as additional sockets, often still connected to a re configured second fuse box that used to power the off peak circuits. [/QUOTE]
