thank you for all the replies

those are the only wires that are there.

I'm replacing a double light switch with another double but there are differences in the switches themselves. could someone give me the correct way to wire the new switch please

Yes,the light itself

yes, all red

there is a red sheath under the grey outer sheath if that's any use to you all. but they are all the same, no markings on them though.

yes it's a 3 way switch, one for the hallway, one for upstair landing and the last one for the outside light.

the colour/wires from the light are earth neutral and live, there still attached to the block, that's the easy side. the wires that went into the other side of the block are 3 plain grey that are unmarked. I just need to know how to test each grey wire to find out which is earth, neutral and live.

the connection of the wires was with a 3 connector plastic block, the block is still attached to the light fitting, 3 normal coloured wires. the 3 wires from the wall are plain grey, with no signs of where they came from out of the block.

my out side light has been knocked off the wall, there are 3 plain grey wires coming out of the wall but none of them are marked to which is live neutral or earth, how can I test which is which? I can borrow a multi meter
