[QUOTE="EmmaWa, post: 501162, member: 33115"] Thank you all very much for the advice. It has been quite a scary experience! The utility room is part of the house on the ground floor, but with nothing above it. The roof is in an indeterminable state because of a huge plant (but much loved) all over it. We will give it a healthy trim and check for gaps going in to the walls. The fuse has blown off again following bigger, more frequent bangs than we've heard so far. Only an hour after it was replaced. An important question: when the fuse is blown, there are no bangs. I'm presuming this is a safer situation in terms of fire hazard than when we do have bangs? We can live happily without upstairs sockets (although the cold showers are difficult). I have to return home and leave my mum alone in this house. While we wait for the electrician to return, are there any other safety measures that she can take? Just to add, whoever buys this house will surely demolish half of it and start afresh. We must be the only house on the street that hasn't been developed or extended since first built! [/QUOTE]
