In a car yeaaaaars ago but never properly

The only other light switch in the kitchen is at the patio doors for the outside light which I would have thought the neighbours would be wired the same way. What would I be looking for with the millimetre?

Jeeeeez... Back on point, the multi metre and socket tester a wise purchase then? As for the different setup to my neighbour since everything working I'm assuming leave as is and just connect up the new wires and forgot about what's not broken... still curious as to why I appear to have 2 live...

Just to clarify the lights can't be hardwired: https://images.philips.com/is/image/PhilipsConsumer/7190155PH-D2P-global-001?$jpglarge$&wid=1250

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: bloody hell what did I start. The sockets are about 3 inches from the ceiling completely inaccessible above a kitchen cabinet lol unless you have a latter of course

The switched will be permanently on to be fair. Rarely switched off, the whole kitchen is the Philips hue system which is controlled by a wireless switch mounted right beside the actual light switch. The hue lights dont like having the power switched off to them they resat back tot he 100% white...

Actually having looked back properly my neighbour only has the single feed coming into the switch wheras I appear to have 2, 2 lives coming into the first COM looped and 2 out so there's some differences in how his place has been wired

Sorry I have just noticed some of the horrendous typos/auto corrects from posting this on my phone ... screw fox :ROFLMAO: hopefully makes sense

In general it would look like whoever wired up the switches in my neighbours house was much tidier, mine is a bit of a jammed mess :eek: You can see from my photo the earth that’s going to the connector block. The other that’s earthed to the box is in the back. Took the photo from a poor angle...

Unfortunately I don’t have a tester. What would be something worth picking up from screw fox for instance? I’m at work so can’t get a better photo just now but yes the blue wires behind the existing 2 gang switch are connected to terminal blocks, 2 of. Not sure why there is 2 separate terminal...

The 2nd cable behind the blank feeds the 2nd socket behind the other cabinet. Just about 5ft along from that socket.

It’s not he best photo I know. What problems can the 13a socket cause? If it’s only to power the led light strips that use 20w? The circuit is all RCD protected

So I live in a new build and the house builder installed some additional wiring up to 2 blank faceplates which I’ve attached a photo of the first of the 2 blanks. They are above the kitchen cabinets with the idea being if I ever wanted to install lights under the cabinets they said all I need to...

So to cut a long story short I have had some 'bouncy' pieces of laminate since fitting earlier this year after moving into a new build, it turns out the floor was all tight against the wall and appears to have had no expansion. Its laminate from carpet right and their timbersafe underlay with...
