UK Looking for help - Trying to move a light switch but I think the cable I’ve bought is defective

Thanks for coming back.
I think I'm right in saying you have connected the earth conductors to the old wall box?
It would be desirable to put full length green/yel sleeving on all those bare earth wires if you can. Otherwise, looks good to me!

Firstly just wanted to again thank you for all your help I really appreciated it couldn’t have done it without you

I connected the earth wires to both the old box and the new box as I thought that made the most logical and safe sense

Yes I’ll try to put some sleeving on them would electrical tape be just as good if can’t find any small packs of sleeving?

Personally I hate 'insulation' tape. You come back years later for maintenance or whatever and everything is sticky and gunky to work on, and you get the stick on the bare ends of the wire and then wonder if the terminal connection will be poor as a result. Horrible!
Spoil yourself and do it nicely with sleeving!

Agreed. I don't think it should be sold as insulation tape. Maybe electrician's tape...
