    Rather than switch off at the single switch - switch off at the consumer unit and see if that makes a difference.
    When you say single switch, do you mean that isolator?

    Yes - it's a single pole device. I suspect that although it was showing off it actually wasn't.

    Why switch off everything anyway  for a few days - what about the fridge, heating (even if gas) ???????????

    Both are after the meter....as long as the isolator is working properly turning off the consumer unit instead would Make no difference?

    Agreed - my suspicion is that the isolator was showing off it wasn't  - they can be quite stiff and need a positive action.
