[QUOTE="Hollies, post: 530644, member: 35300"] Hi I assume I will have to call out an electrician but wondered if there is anything I could try myself before looking for a pro. OK, this is what's happened. My son used my electric sander outside in the garden - he plugged it into an external waterproof socket. After using it, we discovered all the sockets in the living room aren't working - the room is immediately behind the external garden waterproof socket. The bedroom upstairs, immediately above the living room - none of the sockets are working but the ceiling light is. Upstairs bedrooms on the other side of the house are fine. The power has completely gone in the garage and - lights and sockets. The garage has it's own mini consumer unit but nothing has tripped. The main fuse board in the kitchen - nothing has tripped at all. My cooker is Electric but that isn't working. There is a T button which is for testing on the main consumer unit and also on the mini consumer unit in the garage. I've pressed it but it doesn't seem to do anything. Is there anything else I can try before calling out an electrician. For info, house was rewired 5 years ago. [/QUOTE]
