Hi, looking for some help please.....
I've tried searching, though I know what I want to do I'm not sure what I would call it so thought a description with pics would be better.
Been in my house for a year now....there's 2 switches at the top of the stairs, 1 is single & 1 twin. The twin 1 controls the bathroom light & the top landing light. The other is a different type of switch, which at 1st I thought did nothing.
As I thought it didn't do anything I decided to replace it with a blank 2 look nicer.
Long story short, turns out it only powered the boiler
so had to put the switch back on.
The bit in between probably merits the disasters section![Mr Green :mrgreen: :mrgreen:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
To my Q...can I replace the switch with a blank but connected the wires in such a way that the power is always on??
The boiler has another fused switch connected 2 it.
There is also another couple wires connected 2 the switch which are a couple sockets located in the loft & a bedroom.
It's more of an aesthetics thing, it's a horrible white switch covered in plaster/paint & the rest are all brushed silver.
Any help/advice would b much appreciated, cheers, Colin
