Well I'm a four week wonder, but lets cut to the chase to try and be helpful.

The OP has stated that this only happens when the light is operated, and perhaps the RCD which covers that particular circuit also covers the kitchen and top floor bedroom sockets too.

The issue is with the actual light fitting/switch is it not? Happens more in bad weather? Bad as in "wet" weather? Is there a small leak somewhere in the vicinity, leaky roof or something? Perhaps the switch cable has been "nicked" and to add to it's problem, is getting wet when the weather is bad?

Just putting ideas out there, not saying it is or isn't but trying to troubleshoot (albeit blindly)

(I'm new on here by the way, but just putting forward some suggestions)
 
Hi, when trying to source an trade's man it can be difficult, I would ask them how long have you been in the trade etc, ask to see their qualifications, suppose I have to say it , go for registered organisations like NICEIC, approved contractors. TIN HAT ON. lol


What do people think in & out of the trade of STOMA as a good guide to a Qualified Electrition ??
