Many thanks for getting back to me. As a layman I always seek to push the wire in as far as possible in the belief that it makes for the best connection.
I removed the light pendant in our lounge for the ceiling to be plastered. When I went to reconnect, the light doesn't work. The light is served by 2 switches and the wiring from the ceiling in my photo is exactly as it was before the light was removed. Grateful for advice please !

Thanks Blakey - would any of the black cables act as neutrals? I presumed that the clearly connected one was a neutral. If the loose black cable is actually a switch, where should it be conected? I never work with the power on of course so how dangerous would it be to trial and error, eg connect the...
Hi everyone I have a house which has had the kitchen and dining room knocked into one. The previous owner therefore installed a double lighting switch in the dining room area, which controlled the lights in both the former dining room and the kitchen.

Hello folks I have a 7 year old house with dry lined walls. The previous owner took out the wall between the kitchen and dining room.
