Looking for some help with removing an enclosed glass lampshade with a black metal rim at the top, that fits flush to the ceiling, as I need to change the bulb. Probably quite old fashioned.

Try turning it, it's probably screwed in place.

It could be held by spring clips - in which case you just (carefully) pull it.

Thanks both. I will give it a try.
Some have 3 screws holding the lampshade in place on a rim of the glass. Is it a globe? You need to get close and take a look.
I think John has the solution. There will be 3 thumbscrews around the rim which you just loosen and the globe will come off downward. Just be careful when you replace it; there is no need to over-tighten the screws and you might break the globe if you do.

Actually, Gettingonabit was right. I should’ve posted that I had got the job done. Sorry.
