Yes its def moderm t&e as I have replaced sections of it before when a cable
got ruined due to water damage.

The sockets were replaced for cosmetic reasons and fitted with expenisve
"gold trim" ones. I also changed them all to dbl sockets.

So what yoiu are saying is that it could be just one socket with loose
wire/s and if I check them all one at a time I might find it?

I will do this !

Thanks for the help guys!

I own the flat and have lived here 25 years
Its wired with 2.5 standard twin & earth which is modern

thats a good sign. You're sure its pvc and not lead covered?

No earthing clamps in bathroom
No rats
It happens every few hours and although I`ve heard it other places its
one
place in particular which is about 3 ft away from the nearest outlet

It is an old meter with wired ceramic fuses and no RCD`s etc
No sockets getting hot
All the sockets were replaced by me with very high quality ones about 6
years ago

what kind of skts were there before? square/rectangular, or with
curved edges? White or brown/black? Why did you replace them all?


Anyhow, youve got bad connections probably, and theyre likely to catch
fire. Fix pronto.
