Thanks for the replies. I'm going to ask them to send someone again - although I don't agree with paying anything to be honest. Its quite possible it could be a big job.

We live in a masionette and the attic has been converted into a bedroom. Apparently the wiring up there is really poorly done, so we've never used any appliances up their - just the ceiling lights.

Our lights certainly are not on 24/7 but the bulbs in the living room regularly blow when the fuses go. The last time, when the light switch was turned on the bulb literally blew out of the stock - it was lucky our toddler wasn't on the floor underneath. The fuse needed rewiring again.

The LL has sent someone out in the past, as the first time it happened it triggered the house alarm which wouldn't turn off. The guy disconnected the house alarm, fixed the fuse and left.

Think I'll put my request in writing this time.

this is slightly different, cheap lamps will operate mcbs with frequency, however not fuses these should never go with a lamp blowing, however it sounds like the pendant / batten holder needs replacing if the lamp came out as the casing or spring may be dammaged, if the lamp blows and exits the holder this could operate the fuse, sounds like a PiR is required to give a detailed report of the condition of the wiring and accessories
