Some houses seem to have a switch where you can control the landing light from the hall but others do not. Im definately aiming on having a switch that controls the hall light from upstairs, but is it worth having a switch controlling the landing light? Reason being Im having a pendant, stair leds, wall light and landing light which can all work off a 4 way gang. If I want to control the external lights its another switch or a three and a two gang. If I dont hae the landing option it'll be just a four gang. Do many of you use the landing light option from the hall?

it is normal to have a hall switch that controls the landing light as well as the landing switch controlling the same light. You can have what you wish however.
Given the state of this rewire/rebuild you are conducting you should really be asking the electrician you said you have employed. He/she will be able to properly advise you.
Most people want the one whose worth you question, rather than the one you say you definitely want.
Use a grid. You could have a switch in the hall for every light in the house, if you wanted.
Only those who don't want to climb the stairs and find the landing light switch in complete darkness, or don't want to go upstairs to turn on the landing light, then go downstairs to turn off the hall light, and then go upstairs again.
"Many"??
How much thought have you given this?
To be fair, (s)he did say that (s)he definitely wanted to be able to switch the hall light from the landing.
Kind Regards, John.

True...
is this the same guy you were going to ask about the Fuseboard?
But its person who signs the EIC is one you should value most of all.
I'm thinking that if they're in the same place that would look naff, and that a single switch plate would be so much better.
If the guy you've got doing the design work hasn't suggested that then he's clearly no good, and you should consider dumping him.
Ive looked at the grids, but Im using art deco themed switches so wont match really. I was considering a four gang on one wall and a single one on the other, not all together. He's been pretty helpful & patient so far, hes just doing other jobs while I sort out what I need to complete the work.
