Default UK wiring diagrams domestic

wrote:
Hello all, does anyone know where I can get some clear wiring diagrams
for a two way switch on a lighting circuit.
I am building an extension and am going to do the first fix myself (
which i beleive i am allowed to do?) and then get someone part P to do
the rest as its a kitchen.

The ring mains will be no issue and the single lighting cct for
upstairs will be no issue.


what i am uncertain of is i need to switch one light in the kitchen
from two locations and another light from just one. I know i'll need a
2G two way switch on one side and a 1G two way on't tother its just the

wiring inbetween em thats a bit flummoxing!!! I'm no lemon ( electronic

engineering) but havent done any domestic installations before.
I take it i will need three and earth between the 2 way switch and
then use the other switch for switching the "one location" light


dunno if I'm making sense!!!


also does anyone know the regs required for depth of channels in walls
for cables and also what is required in the way of conduit/covers for
the cables in the channels?


Thanks in advance
