Could try putting the old lamps back in, see if the work.

If they do its a lamp issue, unlikely but woth a go.

If they don't then its wiring,

If theyre loop in loop out wired and none of the lights work the issue probably lies at the first fitting, loft unfortunately.
Yes, I tried switching lamps around and the same two sockets work, whichever combo I go with. Makes me wonder if there are two separate loops!

...or the loop out to the other lights is loose from one of the working lights.

Sounds like something has worked loose while changing the bulbs.

Unless you are 100% you can make the circuit safe to work on I'd be getting some professional help.

Lighting can catch me out occasionally with how wired, it's not always obvious, well some of the gods on here can just smell the switch and work it out, just not me.
 
I'm 90 minutes drive from you, Thats 3 hours non productive van-sitting.... but there might be another member closer that could give you a hand.

Experience gives you a 6th sense when it comes to fault finding.
"I see dead people..... and loose connections"

I see dodgy connector blocks and insulation tape.
