Appletree - did the electrician actually use his eyes to study the wiring in the image? I suspect not. If one looks carefully at the two brown wires which are middle top and pass downwards once can see that the insulation on the left of the two has been scraped away revealing a small area of the copper conductor. I think there is similar damage to the right hand brown conductor - and I looks to me as if they may have been touching at these points before the switch plate was moved forward. Both these brown conductors are switched lives. The right hand one goes to L2 and almost certainly the left hand one goes to L2 on the other dimmer.
So, please take another look and take some photos from a different angle to confirm my observations. You will need some brown sleeving to cover the damaged areas. DON'T GO STICKING YOUR FINGERS IN WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE ELECTRICITY FIRST
