Sempervirens

My Sempervirens have rotted, all were Ok until last week now look like the whole pot is rotting off.  I know its been raining a bit and I've probably watered too, just because they were doing so well I thought I'd try harder.  Now it looks like I've killed them with kindness.. any help gratefully received.

I'd take them out of the pot and let the soil dry out. Or put them in fresh compost in the hopes they'll dry out better. Cut off any soft manky bits.
You could also try planting some undamaged rosettes in fresh compost.

Have you got a photo?
They're pretty resilient, so it might not be a disaster

Welcome to the forum.
I'm assuming you mean sempervivums?
Might it be vine weevils? 
Are there any little white grubs in the compost?

Actually, looking at the label I think they are echeveria and one is called 'Rain Drops'..I will have a look at the roots good point and I'll try and dry out the compost, but they do seem to be making little off shoots, or re pot.  Last week they were looking soo good too.

They really never need watered. Any rain you get will be enough. 
Some Echeverias aren't completely hardy, so just check the conditions needed for the one you have.

I actually thought you were talking about Iberis sempervirens

Echeverias and most other succulents do not like to be constantly wet, so I would never water them if they get rain as well. They need sandy/gritty soil without organic matter so it will drain well and not retain moisture. They need to come indoors in winter.
