Do you have an RCD - has it tripped?

 

[telectrix]

start with routine testing. is it a RFC? then end/end res. first.

Don't think this person is a sparks,

Is your meter local to your fuseboards.... do you have a tripping device that protects multiple circuits that may have tripped ...without knowing the layout of your install its very hard to advice someone with no electrical knowledge other than get a competent Electrician in, it could be a simple solution that will also give you an heads-up in future but it could also be a fire hazard if you have a burning out cable.

Its not something we can really help on anymore than check all trips and fuses are good if they are then you need an Electrician!

Has anyone thought outside the box...maybe all of his appliances have gone dicky at the same time?

You are not going to fix this through a forum. It could be something as simple as a loose connection, it could be as serious as a damaged cable. The correct testing sequence will show the fault and its rough location in a short while, but you need the correct kit and knowledge which only an experienced electrician will have. So bite the bullet, and get hold of one, give him or her all the information that you have about the problem, and if you have done anything that you have not mentioned, then tell them. it was always the first thing i asked a customer "Have you done anything you need to tell me about, cos if you have tell me know, because i will find out, and if you tell me now it may save you a heap of cash"

Good luck,
