Discuss 400v at Lights in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Turned out there was an absolutely spectacular joint buried in a ceiling that had been lowered and then had a suspended ceiling hanging from it... Neutral connection had frittered away causing the 400v at lights, rewired from the main iso up to the iso in the motor room with a direct cable to replace said joint and voilà, standard readings across all phases etc.

Bit of a head pickler when looking for the fault originally but i'm glad I had it, learned from it!
 
Glad you got it sorted out eventually and thanks for letting us know what the problem was, it's always nice to get some follow-up info.
