HoolyNI said:A loose wire in an extension lead which was plugged in to a circuit breaker at the socket. Thought it had just thrown the trip but had blown the 30A fuse in my domestic plugs, so I pulled the 30A fuse out of garage socket to double check that it was the fuse but now I cant get the garage socket back in.If you wish to explore sorting this yourself, then it's CU main switch off, and pull out that dodgy holder.Then we can hopefully have a looksee.

Thanks all, decided to just call my spark as didn't want to risk making a bad situation worse. Hopefully it will be a simple enough fix.1

Just a quick update. Spark called out that night and replaced fuse holder and seemed to tighten up a copper plate that slots up behind the fuse box. 15 minute job. Thanks for all your help.2
