Light stopped working, rest of house is fine

It is a very well explanation of situation ive got although i asked in the first post what could couse it really not to guide me step by step how to do it. As ive never had to deal with wired fuses (only with those with switches) so thats why i asked how to remove/replace it as i couldnt remove it myslef but again i didnt want to pull it outwards full strenght to not to break whole unit.

Obviously i know to switch off everything before even touching the fuse box i might try to rewire the fuse, just a quick temp solution and in few weeks/months when wallet fills up replace the fuse box as its probably going to be safest way and no i wont be doing it myslef - thats quite obvious as well.

Thanks again to those trying to help - and to the others - oh well you all know what you deserve in real life you bunch of knowing everything "you know what". in the end of the day you're all here to share knowlegde no matter what level of knowing you are. we all learn our whole life, even you even now. but you think charging 45 pounds per hour of work is not much and that could be changing/rewiring fuse only where most of people dont even earn 10pound/h doing much harder job. i agree that i might be on wrong forum as its for specialists only but there is a moderator to tell is my post should or shouldn`t be posted here and i can clearly see he agreed to post it. above all that while registering i had to tell how qualified i am with the option NONE so that also tells me you dont have to be specialist to register and so on post here on this forum - so there was no need to spam here. Next person with same problem will have to read all that not needed infos from you, well done 'specialists'. the way i see it its easier to post a solution than telling me i know nothing and should pay pay pay for something as easy as rewiring fuse

I hope by clicking 'Thanks' on each helpful posts helped gain you some reputation guys, shame there no option to reduce it to others.

My bad, thought you did not know how to change fusewire in a fusebox, hence the OP.
Anyway, could be any number of possibilities
1. Fault on a light
2. Fault of a lightswitch
3. Bulb blowing took out the fuse
4. Fuse just got tired
5. wiring fault
6. Fusebox fault

you get the idea, replacing the fusewire rules out two of them

marian, please have a good read of post 39 from murdoch. what he says is exactly how it is for many self employed electricians. have a good read and then tell us what you think would be a fair price.

where most of people dont even earn 10pound/h doing much harder job.

!!! What jobs are you referring to here?

 

[telectrix]

marian, you seem to have a blinkered view of the world. what harder job earns < £10/hour. perhaps you think digging ditches is harder just because it's perhaps more physically tiring. it's £10/hour because ditch diggers didn't spend 4 years on pocket money training, a pick and shovel does not cost several thousands of pounds, they don't need to run a van, buy all the updates of regulations, do rreams of paperwork each week. GET REAL.

I resent this. I recently completed an 18 day course in ditch digging and my training provider
assured me it was £ 4000 well spent as due to the current national lack of ditch diggers I should be able to easily get a salary of £30000.

I'd say the bulb/lamps has taking fuse when blown.. Change fuse and bulb if you can or ask a neighbour ..

Marian no offence but it's people like you that get me considerably mad, you can't afford a electrician because we charge so much, but when you take your Mercedes to the garage you can afford the £900 service. Electricians charge what they charge due to the constant money going out, we pay through our nose to be in this trade, vans, insurance, registration schemes, advertising, training etc . Non of it is free, what do you do for a living I can pretty much bet you earn more then me after paying all your tax. And I run too jobs thats how hard up some of us are just to keep cash flow coming in. Call some1 local or teletri his offered you his service at a bloody good price.
