Question - Removing one two-way lighting switch

[Dannon319]

Hi all, looking for some advise please. In our master bedroom we have two light switches controlling the ceiling light, (very rough) diagram attached. I want to remove Switch 2 and blank it off, can someone please point me in the right direction with what to do with the wiring at both switch locations? Planning to use the 3-way Wago connectors where required.

Thank you!

How are you going to "blank it off"? You can't just bury the wires.

Thanks EFLI, appreciated. The wires at Switch 2, I was planning on using Wago connectors to join or isolate per recommendations then leave them in the existing backbox... we're putting some cladding on the wall and the 'old' (current) Switch 2 location will be behind the edge of one of the panels.

Will it be visible? There ought to be some indication that there are live wires there.
You can get blank plates to fit.

Would it not be simples to just retain the switch?

I've got a flush blanking plate, good point about indicating the presence of live wires, I'll think about how's best to do that.
I would have preferred to keep the switch but it's in an awkward spot (and never gets used)

Thanks again for your quick response, greatly appreciated

If there is a loft above, you could perhaps pull the wires up and put them in a junction box.

Then the bedroom wall need not be spoiled.

or cut and join if plastered in, even better would be if the 3C&E can be rerouted to the light fitting.

you could just leave it as it is, if its not used the other switch will work like a normal switch.
