    2 way switch and change of cable ?

    Exactly as sunray says. Also in modern insulated houses I have a ceiling and fan light combined. With this I prefer not to have this in a 2 way setup. So I know off really means off. (Rather than being off via the remote control) Defo run 3c&e to the switches. I wouldn’t put an intermediate...

    2 way switch and change of cable ?

    Well I decided only one light needed to be 2 Way. (Ceiling or bedsides). So I just made the bedsides 2 way. Anyway. The principle is the same. To make a second switch you run a 3c and E to the other switch. Sockets goto the junction box.

    2 way switch and change of cable ?

    Seams too much extra work to me that you may need an extra N at the second switch ! For me I would be putting in a single socket either side of the bed, and extra switch wires by bed and door. So you can have some nice bedside lights switched from multiple locations. And you will be very...

    probably "joined" under the junction box It keeps all those bare wires away from harm

    2 way switch and change of cable ?

    regardless whether is a "new" or "old" layout, best thing to do is run 3C+E between the switches. If you are going to replace the switch drop, leave it long enough to reach a ceiling rose.

    Which type switch do I need?

    It's an intermediate, (as it says on the rear). These have 4 wire connections. You need to reconnect that 4th wire, that will be why it isn't fully working. So to replace you switches I think you need 2 gang 2 way and a 1 gang INTERMEDIATE

    Replace red and black 10mm cable to loft conversion?

    A radial will be fine for a loft. 2.5mm cable, 20A circuit protection. But if what you currently have works for you, leave it alone.

    Loft lights: 2 circuits

    I mean its not wrong. That is how you would do it with ceiling roses, but you have LED battens. (so do the junction in them) Do you really need 2 switches for them? LEDs don't consume much. Be simpler with one switch and just take one lamp feed from the other. The other way to make it really...

    2.5mm can handle 27A. You don’t want a 13A fcu as it will overheat. You could use a 20/30/45A switch if you want. I would. To ensure the fridge can run if there is a Cooker fault. I’d fit a 25A mcb What brand cu is it?
