[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 492514, member: 6969"] It's hard to generalise. It depends when it was last rewired. There is a chance it's all wired spider fashion to a big lighting junction box somewhere, usually one per floor so one in the loft and one in the inter floor void. If it is wired like that the problem become WHERE is that junction box? It can take some time to find it. It is quite common to find broken earths at such a junction box. As others say, until they have a look and start testing you don't know what is wrong, it could be simple it might not be. [/QUOTE]
