[QUOTE="Wah007, post: 438119, member: 28517"] Thank you for the advice Paulcopeman and SPECIAL LOCATION. I had an electrician come to check the problem today and he didn't test anything. He unscrewed the consumer unit box cover and looked at the wiring. He said that there are two wires going into each breaker and this puts too much load on them, he said there should only be one wire in each breaker. He said he will add three extra breakers to lower the load and replace the RCCB with an RCD. When I mentioned that this only started to happen when the builders started their work with power tools next door two months ago he said the sensitivity of the RCCB can cause it to keep tripping as quality of it goes bad over time (it hasn't let us down for 11 years). I would have thought at least some basic test would have been done. [/QUOTE]
