i know this is going to be a bit difficult to answer but
i noticed that neither the upstairs or downstairs mcb for the lights would actually switch off the lights on their own, so i worked out the most likely cross was on the stairs and indeed someone had installed a single gange single way switch where there used to be a two gang two way switch, so i have replace that and it all now works correctly.
One thing that i did notice is there is a single red cable (single as in not part of a T&E cable) into a choc block behind the switch. Does this mean i have not correctly undone their mistake or its there for some other reason and if thats the case would anyone like to offer an opinion on what its for?
