Default Economy 7 heaters stopped working

Hi,

I've just bought and moved into a Victorian flat. I'm pretty new to all
this so if I don't make sense bear with me...

We have 3 storage heaters attached to the Economy 7 consumer unit (I
think on seperate spurs). The other week all 3 stopped working. I have
used a power detector and see that there is no power going to either of
the sockets during the off peak period.
The immersion water heater, I believe also connected to the E7 CU,
seems to be working fine.

I've checked the fuses in the consumer unit, and the main off peak fuse
and all seem OK. I want to try everything possible before calling out
an electrician, as I'd like to learn as much as I can myself. What are
the next steps for investigation that you guys would take?

A different problem also - one of my double wall sockets seems to have
packed up. I got a socket tester plug and it shows that there is a
"neutral fault". I checked removed and replaced the live neutral and
earth wires but no luck. Any ideas?

Cheers
Dom
