How to wire a 2 gang switch - Wiring up a two gang switch

Finally today we finished the part rewire we have been working on for what seems a life time! Actually it took us ten days in total.

We expected it to take around five to seven days but because of all the stuff in the house, as I have explained and blogged about in my previous few electricians blog posts, We were there for the extra days, basically moving things around the house to get to where we needed to be next. I think if I come across a house like this one in the future the price will have to be a little more than average.

As we were finishing up today writing the electrical certificate, the lady from the council came around to ensure that all works we had invoiced were carried out. The council do seem really on the ball as she was very efficient and thorough. She said she was also going back to the office to put our payment through which also makes her a really nice lady! Thanks Katie!

Before we left the customer of the property also asked if we could do a few little extras for him. One of the extras was to rewire his garage. We have already re run a new supply to the garage from the main consumer unit in the house with a 6.0mm to a garage consumer unit. All the old electrics in the garage have been cut out and disconnected a while ago by the looks of it. Take a look at the picture I took today of the old 2 gang switch. The customer also asked if I could reuse this! Electricians, Would you reuse this 2 gang switch?
