Electrical issue

[Jimmy the Gent]

I recently had a guy around to change a faulty dimmer switch in my living room and replace it with a regular on/off switch. While he was changing it he tripped the circuit board. Once he switched the tripper back on it worked again and my living room lights with the new switch are now working perfectly.

However, I've just noticed that my outside and under the stairs lights are now not working. I tested the bulbs in question on other lights and they work. There are also no tripped switches on the circuit box either.

Wtf is going on? Any suggestions?

Shocking news.

He probably dropped a live/neutral or a feed to the switch(es) for the dodgy lights.
Get him back to check it.

That was my personal 911 there BTW.
Within a year I'll be able to participate in IOTY fun.

Seconded, my money is on a cable not connected in at the back of the replacement switch.

That makes sense as there was a phantom wire that he did mention but presumed it was redundant. He's calling out again today.

Cheers, lads.

Did he charge you for a second call out?

No, he only lives up the road. Sound guy. Took him 5 mins.
