    Hi I changed two sockets today in front room all went well but now there's no power in sockets in hallway. They are on different walls not connected to sockets I changed. There no switch down in fuse box either. Any one have any ideas please

    I'd say all did not go well.

    If you don't know what you're at get a REC in.

    If you don't know what you are doing get a RECI in, you got a loose wire somewhere and that could be fatal.

    Safely isolate the power to all sockets

    Open up those you replaced, and recheck and tighten all connections, put the socket back on the wall, take it off again and retighten

    I'd wager a conductor has slipped out
