Any electricians on here, please help

Hi All

Our upstairs lights are not working, my husband changed the fuse but they're still not on.

It must just be coincidence but our ceiling were skimmed today but only one upstairs.

Please help if you have suggestions.

Thank you.

    Did the Plasterer move the ceiling rose, may have dislodged feed to upstairs lights, make sure to turn power off before attempting repair. Cheers.

    Possible that when the plasterer removed the light fittings he dislodged the main feed to the upstairs lights - easily done !

    as others have said

    the plasterer has probably dislodged either the live or neutral loop wire
  • Did he test for voltage at the rose? Did he test on the loop terminal? Did he test them all? Can you post a photo of it?
