...I got in touch with my landlord and he came round within the hour really and told me to do something I had, by that time, already done, which was switch off all circuits, slowly switch them back and do the whole unplug socket, test appliances and essentially isolate the issue. All to no avail, since it tripped again.

How many times?

In regards the immediacy of it, I told him I needed an electrician round and he said "my guy is not around today" which meant nothing to me, so I took it upon myself to call an electrician round and he was round for all of five mins and said the same "turn of all appliances" (which I had done, twice). He wasnt much use and told me to perservere with the isolating and turning appliances off and said he "suspected" it to be a faulty appliance and left.
...

When the landlord said that, did you reply "Well I need the power working properly today, so are you Ok picking up the bill if I call someone else out myself on a Sunday morning?" (or words to the effect) ?  If not, what did you agree with him?

In total, since the 10/11, it has tripped in total around six times. But very intermittent and not something that is easily noticeable 

I didnt mention the bill when he was right infront of me no, but I did make it clear I needed someone round that day, asap really and he said "yeah absolutley"

Well you seem a bit stuck then. Especially as your electrician didn’t even solve the problem.

Just got an email from the landlord to say it can be deducted from this months rent so, solved, in a financial sense.
