Get somebody in sooner rather than later.........possible lose connection/fire hazard somewhere.

Look at all your pendent drops (in the actual ceiling rose part). No doubt you will find a cable which is loose or has snapped off.

Give the cables a good 'tug' at the terminals to ensure they are truley in.

If you have 3036 re-wireable fuses, also check the fuse wire - have seen some very poorly re-wired fuses where the wire has snapped as the terminal was done up.
