Last night when I switched on en-suite light they blew and tripped on resetting the fuse the lights still don't work (have replaced Bulbs )and the extractor fan won't work either they both are operated from a double switch positioned outside the en-suite. Any thoughts Thanks in advance. Andy

Does the fuse/MCB still reset. Or does it keep tripping.
What type of lights do you have?

We have tried to change this to a ceiling rose but it still doesn't work and as said the extractor fan does nt work either
It would be difficult to say, could be a number of things, depending on the set up.
GU lamps are these recessed into ceiling? If so these lamps get really hot and I have come across many a melted cable, but this often leads to a continued tripping of device, unless it has blown the fault clear.
Any other fuses in circuit, such as Fused Connection/Spur

No other problems these lights were on a metal plate not into the ceiling could it be the switch I say this because the fan not working and this is operated by the double switch along with the lights
It would be worth investigating at the switch first, does the fan have a separate switch to that of the lights then?
You'll need a proper test instrument like a two-probe voltage tester or a multimeter. Do you happen to have anything like that to hand?
It's a double switch which operates the light and fan
