Maybe I was a bit "fuzzy" in that explanation. Nothing happened to the guy. Everything worked when he left the place the last time. This symptom developed a couple of days later. All of a sudden, everything on that side of the house would go black and the Residual Current Device on that strip of power would kick in.
Last friday however, it got to the point where we couldnt leave the circuit breakers for the heatr on without the RCD going off.
So the cable must have "shaken loose" some more and was constantly touching the metal frame and thus not possible to turn it back on.
When the guy came out around 2 in the afternoon, he removed the metal "lid" that the cable touched, and everything worked just peachy. It wasn't until he looked on the inside of the lid itself and spotted the "spark-marks" on the metal till he figured out what was happening.
So noone got electrocuted in the process
