ELECTRICAL
Is the problem ...
A wall socket has got no power ?
Guidance:
Unplug any appliance and check that the RCD at the electrical consumer unit hasn't tripped. If it has it may be the appliance that is faulty. Test it by plugging a different appliance into the socket and see if it remains live. If so, this is not a defect, however if the socket is dead in all circumstances, report it as a defect - all you need do in the description box is quote the code WSNP and state loft (nothing else, no explanation, just this).
A light has stopped working ?
Guidance:
Check that it is not the bulb by replacing with a new bulb. Check that the RCD at the electrical consumer unit hasn't tripped. If it's not the bulb or the RCD report it as a defect - all you need do in the description box is quote the code LSW and state loft (nothing else, no explanation, just this).
SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Useful checklist
If you have just moved in, here are some important reminders:
APPLIANCE WARRANTIES
Don't forget to complete all of the warranty cards for your fitted electrical appliances. Keep a copy and send them off to the manufacturer. Should you ever need to report a fault, you know they will have proof of your cover.
BOILER SERVICE
Make a note in your diary to book a service in 12 months time. Failure to maintain annual services could invalidate your warranty cover.
WATER AND GAS SHUT-OFF VALVE
Make sure you (and other responsible members of the household) know where to find the shut-off valves for water supply and (if applicable) gas.
METER READINGS
Make a note of your meter readings for your electricity supply, water and gas (if applicable). Keep it somewhere safe.
