    Could a relay switch be causing the havoc in my home?

    I took down the document as I had the answers I needed thanks to the many helpful responses. It has personal data in it so please do not re-upload. I'm in Camden (Gospel Oak), but having been made redundant recently simply don't have the cash to do anything about the problem at the moment...

    Could a relay switch be causing the havoc in my home?

    Thanks all - looks like its best to get someone in at some stage when I can afford. The RCD bit in last post explains what I'm seeing well. Frustrating!

    Could a relay switch be causing the havoc in my home?

    Could a relay switch be causing the havoc in my home?

    Thanks, but care to expand on what the actual issue might be? Obviously it's too late to change what is already done (and was/am severely budget & experience constrained, so didn't have the luxury of managing separate trades in a complex build).
