[Pete999]

I know, thank you. Bristol is a bit far though but I have passed on the details of a friend of mine much nearer

SC you don't want to venture to that neck of the wood me babber, they all talk funny and have strange habits, trust me I know, I was that spark who worked there, had to get out fo fear of growing 6 fingers.

sounds like your house was wired exactly to what the architects drawings stated, is lighting just 1 circuit? or is 1 of the hallways included in the up/down stairs lighting circuit and the bedrooms on another?

if youre not fussed about a bit of redecorating in the garage id just allow for patches to be taken out to hide the cables in the garage if you decide to hard wire them in, or could go for the council house favourite of trunking

Well inside the garage is bare breeze blocks, so the existing wiring is all exposed apart from a bit of trunking coming down from ceiling level to the switch (albeit there is no ceiling, which is why you can see the wires). It's probably an easy job for somebody who knows what they're doing.

You only have 5 fingers? I have 8 and two thumbs.

if its exposed woodwork its a few hours/half day of work depending on size of garage, wouldnt be too hard too do, anything is possible
