Hi all, I was having some work done as I've moved into a new house in Feb. My electrician did all the wiring for a new partition in the front room but has been detained in the EU because of the 2 week isolation period. I've managed to wire up the outlets but have no clue what's going on with this two way switch or how to wire it up - any ideas?

We would need a picture of what is at the remote switch as well.

Is the sparky happy that you are connecting it up in his absence?

hum, when you say wire up, I’m guessing you’ve used the bang test?

 
I think that is someone using the Wago’s and thinking that each hole in a Wago is insulated from the next instead of being commoned up.

By the looks of it he has tried to shove two conductors into one hole, and as said strappers and earth commoner up as well.

Plus that is surely far too scruffy for a spark to have done.

My joiner mate did something similar, removing a stud wall he put each of the three cores from a twin and earth into each hole of a Wago, very neat and a nice short circuit, phoned me up asking why the breaker would not go back on.
