All sorted now - It was a case of connecting the 2 remaining black wires together in a separate connection block then connecting 1 red into the loop and 1 into the neutral - and walaa - job done! Cheers to everyone that responded and to rocky above for resizing my photo - this really is a top...

Kind of difficult to know the exact correct wordings unless you take a keen interest or deal in sparks - Evidently neither of which I do. So its a 3 gang light switch?

Well thanks for all the feedback my friend - I'll pop round his later with my new found knowledge and see what I can do

Everything is connected to a 3 switch wall socket?

The old gentleman seems to think that the remaining 2 black wires were connected together separately from the ceiling rose and that the 2 red wires that accompany the black ones were then connected somehow into the ceiling rose - could this be a possibility and if so how would that work?

The wires that are connected into the ceiling rose are the ones that Ive so far figured out and connected up - these work as they should - the 2 remaining cables coming through the ceiling which are currently unconnected are for the 3rd light - I'm unsure of how to connect these wires up to work...

Ok so I finally got a photo - //media.diynot.com/107000_106571_11031_59447917_thumb.jpg As you can see there is 4 wires remaining - 2 black and 2 red, now the old gentleman thinks the 2 black wires were connected together? But he cant remember where in that case the remaining 2...

I haven't even gone near the switch, was told everything worked fine before so don't plan on opening up that can of worms - Currently at my girlfriends house so cant get any photos till this evening, the guy did mention that he thought 2 of the black wires were connected together but he...

Ok so my elderly neighbor went to replace a cracked ceiling rose in his hall way, he took the fixture down and unfortunately made no note of which wires went where so when he came to replace the fixture he understandably got a little confused - this is where I come in, I agreed to take a look...

Well you certainly know a lot me than me, I'm just a simple bricky/plasterer - as far as plumbing goes, I just learn from my mistakes (of which there's been plenty) - at the rate I'm going I'll know enough to be a fully qualified plumber in a few months :)

ahhh so if I'd just capped them off everything would of been fine If I were to leave them uncapped would they continue to leak or is there a limit to amount of water that can come out? Thanks for the speedy response mate its been bugging me all day

Hello - Removed 2 radiators last night from my hallway closing off both the control and lockshield valves, our central heating was on last night and there were no leakages, so far so good - got up this morning just after 7 and water was coming out of the control valve end of the one of the...

surprised how straight forward the fix is - really thought there was more to it! but im not complaining :D
