• If you have a water leak, (please turn off the stop cock if applicable) and place a bucket or receptacle under the water.
• If you have no electricity, please check if there is an area power cut with your neighbours, then check your fuse board, often circuits can get tripped due to excess usage, so therefore please unplug all appliances, irons, kettles before trying to reset the switch, as if an appliance fuse does not work this could cause the fuseboard to trip and the switch to remain off.
