: Electric Fuse box playing up (ended)

Electric Fuse box playing up

Hi There, what seems to be happening is in the main electricity box in the house it is split into lights etc and that is fine but the other part that has sockets etc has 3 fuses upstairs sockets, downstairs sockets ans something else then there is a switch next to this which i tripped and everything came back on. however this only lasted for about 15 mins, what I have done now is switch off the upstairs sockets and it seems to be holding for now so the sockets downstairs are working but i don't know electrics and don't know if i simply need a new fuse in one of the areas. I did not want to get ripped off thats why I have come on here, so at the moment I have electricity to the downstairs sockets but that is because i put the trip switch off for the upstairs ones...I hope this makes sense to someone and they will be able to get me sorted on the cheep because it does not seem a big job just fuses or something
