Turns out the voltage might have been high for quite a period of time, a digital clock was playing up (alternating bright and dim) then sometime after a power adapter blew to smithereens.
Boiler doesn't work any longer, TV dead, digital phone dead, main fusebox may have a fault even though it was checked earlier.
Various people looking at various bits.
It is just the one road it has been said. I bet parking is going to be a laugh with contractors everywhere.
I don't see how the voltage could go up to 400V without affecting everything back to the substation, to do this one phase must have been earthed (neutraled) which would normally blow the substation trips/fuses. You can only get 400V between two phases, each phase is 250V to earth/neutral.
I'm only reporting on from my relations, I have a completely different disaster where I am.
