Fishy smell - overheating electrics?
Discussion
yesterday I got a strong fishy smell in one room, this started suddenly and hadn't been there before. Did the usual checks for dead mice, food discarded by the kids etc....but nothing.
Smell has now disappeared and hasn't come back.
Speaking to a friend he suggested that I might have an electrical fault and the overheating could be causing the smell.
What's the best way of diagnosing this....? Is it a case of removing wall sockets, light switches etc....and checking for any suspicious signs of overheating etc? Could the smell be coming from something like the plug on an appliance??
Any advice welcome....nervous that I'm sitting on a potentially catastrophic problem.
