Removing side lights and switches

[wannadie]

I wish to remove these lights and switches.

initially, I thought I could remove cabling between lights and switches and blank the switches.

But can I remove more cable so I can removes the switches too?

There are on a power circuit so I expect they are wired to the socket on the left.

If they are on the power circuit (are you sure about that?) there should be a fused spur: https://www.toolstation.com/click-mode-13a-fused-spur/p64842 around somewhere, can you find it?

You had better find out for sure.

Spur. A branch from a ring or radial final circuit.

When I turn off the breaker for the power sockets, it cuts power to the lights. Can’t see a fused spur anywhere.

Ok.

Switch off the main switch and remove the socket and post a picture of the wiring.

Is it obvious that a cable is supplying the switches and lights?

Ok, little mistake. They are on the ground light circuit. Room is on the first floor. Pictures of cables attached.

Assume I need to raise floorboards to see how they connect?

Let me know if this is the next step and I will do.

Thanks for help so far.

No one will know!

That would seem to be the next logical step if the cables come from below the flooring.

You may find the additional cable in the ceiling light below there and it may look different to the originals.

Have lifted a floor board. Cables seem to go through a joist so not sure how light switch connects.
Do I need to try and access from the other side of the wall?
Do I try and do this at wall level or floor level?

 

[terryplumb]

I suspect those cables under that floorboard are not the ones supplying switches. Lift more floorboards to the right hand side.
Have you now stripped out the cables from switches to light fittings ?

Did you look at the light fitting below that room, in other words the light under the ceiling?

Personally I would have started there before struggling with carpet and floorboards.
