Thank you for your reply. No there is no appliances plugged in, fuse spurs are in the off position too. There was a fuse spur for the boiler that I thought could have been connected the wrong way around, so I then disconnected the cables from the fuse spur and tested on the cables.

Thank u for your replies! The house does have a tncs so the 6mm bonding will be a code 1 or 2?

Hello Egan. I dont think you have an issue with power if the light is working, as Marc has said it could be a faulty fan. Why dont you swap the fans around, you know the dining room fan works, why dont you put that in the sitting room to see if it works with the lights on ??
