I've been telling him that for the past few hours but he is not listening.
And I haven't a clue why he is insisting on introducing a JB into the circuit.
Sorry didn't see that so the live in and out of the switch can be from the slave sorry so this will save the extra cable going downstairs ? And the junction box was to replace this ill send a picture this is used to loop the live back to switch instead of the ceiling rose/downlights which I don't think loop either :/

Is this what you propose ? Done a re-sketch I do appoligise for not listening before I am new to all this and do want to learn from what your saying

Looks to me like the load has to come from the downstairs master though :/
NO You need
Landing light. Landing master. Downstairs slave.
3 core cable (+earth) from master to slave.
EXACTLY as the drawing in the Varilight installation instructions.

It does. It's the same wire.
This is not possible as the downstairs light requires a master to work and the landing and downstairs is on a 2 gang master the bottom light is 1 way so won't run off the slave which is why I put the slave upstairs for the landing 2way ?
Is that what you meant to say?
No wonder he's confused.
If the three strappers are connected to both switches it does not matter where you connect the Live and Switched Live.
You could connect them in the middle if wanted.
I'm not certain but I doubt the Slave Load is anything more than a simple connector.
OK, so 2 gang master downstairs, and a 1 gang slave upstairs?
That will work, as mentioned a few times above, the load and the live can be at either end - assuming the same lighting circuit is used.
EDITED

Yes
Yes this is correct originally I wanted a 2 gang slave upstair too but could not work my bathroom light off it aswell as the landing on the other gang so now I've gone for a single slave for the landing and a single master for the bathroom

As for the junction box - you may be better with something like this:

What are these called mate and where does the power from fuse box go into that it don't show does it ? Do screwfix/toolstation sell them ? Thanks
Can't see any on Screwfix.
Toolstation:

Or just a row of connector blocks in a box.

Given the problems you have had trying to decipher a relatively straight forward two way lighting circuit, do you really want to start messing about that multi-wired (possibly ten or eleven cables) junction box.
My advice - solve one problem at a time - you haven't sorted the two way out yet - focus on getting that right first.
