I've just removed a small stud wall/door way between the entrance hall and main hall. Before the re-plastering and decorating starts i'd like to reduce the number of light switches if possible.
Photo/diagram below to give you a better idea of what i am talking about.
As you can see there's a double 2 gang switch near the front door which operates the outside light and the entrance hall light. There's a second 2 gang switch only a foot or two away (this switch was on the other side of the removed wall). This switch also operates the entrance hall light as well as the main hall light. There's a third single 1 gang switch which operates the cloakroom light. Finally there's a single 2 gang switch (not shown in the photo below) at the far end of the hall which operates the hall light.
I'd like to replace the first switch with a single 1 gang switch to operate just the outside light. I would also like to replace the second and third switch with a double 2 gange switch to operate both hall lights and the cloak room light. I assume this would mean putting the entrance hall light and main hall light on the same circuit/switch (ie: so both lights are controlled by the same switch).
You can probably tell i'm no expert with electrics. Is this do-able for a novice such as myself or should i get a pro in?
