He said the black wire was to the fan. By the way thanks muchly for all your replies. Appreciated.

Ok, Covid test came back negative, so asked electrician to come round. He sorted it out in about 5 minutes. Live switched and one brown wire in 1way, the other 4 browns in com.

Wait forget that. Had wrong wire. Ok done it again. Now bathroom light working. Fan on timer. But bedroom lights still won't come on without bathroom switch.

Yeah it had longer screws. Not one switch in house has used caps.

Done it. You superstar! 4th try.

Does the light being permanently on that mean there's another switched line?

Only one switch. One light.

Done it. Bathroom light permanently on, extractor activates with switch. So, light switch turns extractor on and off but light does not go off.

Hi, light stopped working in bathroom, checked bulb, then checked switch, found that wires had came loose out of terminal(s). I can't figure out where the wires go back in. Can't ask electrician round at moment because self isolating, waiting Covid results. There's no window in bathroom so...
