Thank you for your help.

Fab, so the red sleeve would indicate live, so for all the connections here they're live just some are power in (L1) and some are power out (L2), and then L3 are all to do with two way switches.

Ok, that makes sense, so essentially the red wires (L1) are the cables coming into the box from the power source, we only need one of these so the other can be terminated. We then have two wires coming out of the same L2 which then provide the power to the lights. Is the spare blue wire a neutral?

My thought would be to either switch L1/L3 of the middle switch to the right switch or L1/L2 from the right switch to the middle. But why is one L3 and the other L2? What is the purpose of the spare?

I can understand that, and I agree. I only asked whether it was possible, not how to do it, and you kindly offered the solution. Anywho, for part 2 I have three spots in the ceiling all in a row, middle switch controls one of them and the left switch (right if you’re looking at the back)...

Ok, point taken. Do you want to explain why it worked to me?

No, not at all. If I knew why I would have been able to deduce what was wrong without asking.

Fab, that worked a treat thank you.

We have a kitchen diner and in the diner there is a 3 gang light switch - 2 switches control 3 lights in the ceiling (I’d prefer it to be one switch but can cope with 2) the other switch controls the ceiling lights in the kitchen. In the kitchen there is also a 3 gang light switch one controls...

It could be worth looking at some underfloor heating, and use something like aquastep that won't get as cold as normal tiles/stone

I can't really help you with the order of things, but I would suggest against the carpet in there - it will pick up all sorts of smells if/when it gets wet - especially if someone gets pi$$ on it.

Having bought our 1950's Semi there was an old back boiler and gas fire in the rear fireplace and an old gas fire in the front fireplace. Having removed the two fires and the boiler we could see what the fireplaces were like: Rear Front after a tiny bit of work Front with plastered...
