Floodlights

We just moved house, and at nightfall the floodlights light up all round the house, and stay on until sunrise. It is driving me mad. We have about five or six, all exterior and at the top of the first floor so I can’t reach them.

How do I switch them off? If I need to call someone out to switch them off, who do I call - an electrician, an exterior lighting person?

Thank you!

Sounds like they are on a dusk to dawn sensor, we had the same but it was only for general outside lighting (porch, driveway, patio etc) and certainly not floodlights.
Should be an override switch somewhere so a hunting you must go but alternatively check to see if they are wired separately from the fusebox (read the labels and if nothing gained, trip the breakers one at a time when the lights are on).
If all else fails then yes, contact an electrician.
