Recently I had installed two wall fittings. They are 40w halogen lamps (states on the fitting 40w max) with a dimmer switch on each. However there seems to be slight smoke coming from them after being left on for a short while. Any suggestions as to why this might be please?

It sounds like the lamps may be overheating the fitting.
Whatever the reason if the MI say it can accept 40W and it can't then you really need to either replace the fittings or use a lower wattage lamp which won't cause burining.
But i'd be inclined to return the fittings to B&Q.
