Hi,
Flat recently gutted and rewired from scratch.
Livingroom has two switches, one controls the main light, one controls a 5 amp circuit with 3 sockets (3 round pins).
Only just got round to testing it (a year later...) and 1 socket is working, 2 aren't. Any ideas what could be the issue?
Not sure if it's connected, but recently when we flicked the switch that controlled the main light it cut the power from other rooms in the house. We changed the lightbulb and now that issue is resolved.
 
Sounds like something is not connected or has a loose connection
call the original electrician back in to have a look is likely to be the quickest and cheapest option
 
Loose connection between the one that works, and the one that doesn’t.

I assume they are wired switch- socket 1- 2- 3 and not all switch then out individually to each socket.

I don’t think the light bulb issue is connected. I take it the bulb going simply tripped the RCBO?
