blown fuse (or not?) don't really know, need advice please

[theotherfossilsister]

Aaaagh, all power in the kitchen is off. No fuse obviously gone (old fashioned fuse box rather than switches like we're used to.)

Think it's been off from last night. Freezer defrosting.

More urgently though, we have biologics in there (an RA medicine which needs to be kept cold.)

Partner just taking photo of fuse box now to send to brother, but I don't know what to do and am panicking. Not sure brother will be much help. It kind of looks like dominoes.

Personal recommendation of a local electrician is a good move.

but whoever you use must be a member of a "Competent Person Scheme." Ask them which one they are a member of (and look them up on the scheme website to check, there are several, it will be one like www.niceic.com/householder/find-a-contractor this]]

A qualified person will be proud of their membership and display it on their van, business cards and invoice. A person who says "why are you asking that? I've never been so insulted in my life. Errrr - I've left my card in the van. Ummm, the dog ate it" should be shown the door.

Websites like "Trustable Tradesmen" and "Rate-my-brickie" are not accreditation bodies, they are advertising sites.

Thank you, is the competent person scheme a thing in Scotland too? Fil got it working but still want it replaced.

Sorry I don't know how it works in Scotland

I found this

electrical.theiet.org/bs-7671/building-regulations/part-p-scotland-and-northern-ireland/

bit I'm sure a Scot will be along.

Thank you, the click here isn't working, maybe just because.im.on the phone app though.
