Hi there,
I'm not trying to be cheeky, just looking for advice before calling in a qualified electician, we've been having problems for a while now, intermittently the lights have started flickering and sometimes this causes the power to trip, we can go for days with no problems and then on some days it can happen on and off all day long sometimes it's so bad we can't even put the power back on, we have been trying to discover which circuit the problem might be on, sometimes when the large switch on the board goes off so does another smaller switch (not always though) however when leaving this smaller switch off and putting the main power back on the circuits will still trip, does that mean that it's not that circuit after all?
Every time we think that we may have discovered which electrical item may be causing the problem we disconnect it only to find that the problem still exists. With the electrical problems being so intermittent it is taking a long time to try to narrow down what might be the cause, I am a bit concerened that if we call in an electrician without more of an idea where the problem might lie we might not be much help ...... I don't want to look an idiot, it sounds bonkers that we can't identify what is causing this to some extent, any suggestions?
Many thanks for any help
