Need some help re. electrics/boiler
Forgot about this thread. I fixed it over Xmas.
Blanked off socket with rusty spur connections behind a built-in wardrobe. It’s a metal box inset into ThermaLine with no vapour barrier so got sh*tloads of condensation every night over winter and dried out during the day!
Thanks again for the suggestions. A happy ending.
It was this. Of course it was this!!!

Glad the problem is solved, nothing worse than hunting down elusive faults but out of interest how on earth did you locate it? Seems to be well and truly hidden.
Sold a pair of soft top side covers and now retired.

Maybe the person that blanked it off when they fitted the wardrobe had a moment?
Nice when things get sorted

WOW - not only am I impressed that you thought about what was causing it; I'm more impressed that you knew where it was and got a direct hit with your cut out

Well, we’re selling the flat and I saw it in an old picture of the bedroom from a for sale ad in the early 2000s! Then it was easy to locate using a Bosch pipe detector thingy.
