About a week ago when I turned on the bedroom light (loft conversion)
there was a BANG from the light fitting right up in the vaulted ceiling.
All the lights in that room are now off and it also affects a second light on the stairs fed from the same 2 gang switch.
we have an old rewritable fuse board with a single upfront RCD that didn’t trip.
My wife is now saying that she wants to get an electrician in to fix it.
however, today I have made a start, I went out and found an old card of fuse wire in case I need it.
she thinks I should be taking this more seriously but it’s Sunday morning and I have only had one coffee and no bacon sandwiches yet.
any advice on how to handle this?
I am running out of reasons why it can’t be done right now,
I am not part P registered so any work I do at home is surely considered DIY.
what I need is a professional opinion that tells me it’s just not suitable for a home owner to attempt such a complex fault finding as a DIYer.
or possibly an emergency breakdown called in from somewhere .
or at a push maybe a bacon sandwich.
HELP PLEASE!!
