If you can use those 47mm boxes everywhere it gives more room for the cables and now is the easiest time to make the choice

Disconnecting the cables at the dimmer and removing the metal back box should allow you to see better where the cables go.

How much...

Legrand is what I was going to say. Often seen at car boot sales. I have one if you would like it.

but you only have one head! And the poundland head torches are actually very good!

Headtorch?

Lidl have a set of step drills on sale right now if that helps. £4

the specs of that one seem to suggest the cable is CCA though.
