[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 499280, member: 6969"] It would be most unusual for a cable to go straight from the consumer unit up to the loft for an immersion heater. Most likely is there will have been a switch somewhere to turn the immersion heater on and off, very often in a kitchen. My guess is someone has removed that switch and made a mess of connecting the wires together. That adds another element of "problem" to it in that you have a hidden connection somewhere that may be connected wrong and no way to inspect it or correct it unless you can find that hidden junction. It is probably better to abandon it and connect a new feed to a loft socket from an existing properly working circuit. [/QUOTE]
