Two gang light switch - what am I doing wrong?

[SUNRAY]

Is it just me, or does this look a bit iffy?

not ideal but very common and somewhat awkward to prevent in a congested space.

Tis easier is a more appropriately sized sleeving is used.

I thought I was seeing almost contact between a cpc and a N or SL.

Not that I can tell, unless there's some damaged insulation there

Is the right hand switch the blue and brown from the same cable? (Light 1)

I know in the photo it's not clear but, Yes it is - that light works.

What I can't get my head round is why the second light doesn't work if I loop COM to COM?

That's a shame, I really thought we were on a winner.

Did you check this bit?

any thoughts on this:

Tested between unknown blue and perm live - there is no voltage.

I might have to do a more thorough trace of wires.

The only thing I can think of is that the loft has alcoves - which have a wire running to them for in-cupboard lighting. Those are not fitted yet.

I know there is a wago junction box in the loft as well. So I'm hopeful all the wires can be traced back to there.

Just a bit frustrated because the first Electrician disappeared and I paid a second one to test all the wiring (making him aware of what had happened). He said it was all tested etc, when I contacted him about it not working he isn't responding. So now I have to pay a third to come sort things out if I can't manage it myself. Nightmare!
