The only ones I can find at a good price are 1 gang, 2 way.
Can I use those as 1 way switches?
If so do I just run the live wire into the 'in' port and ignore the outgoing port?
Thanks in advance.
No it isn't!!!! It's illegal to charge money to work on other people's electrics without proper training in the UK. You can do what you like to your own home.
A competent DIYer may be allowed to carry out Non-notifiable work without having to notify the Building Control Officer, but it is always best to check with them first.
Examples of such work are:
Replacing sockets, switches and ceiling roses
Replacing damaged cable in one circuit
Replacing socket boxes
You can use a 2 way switch fine.
Just connect one wire to the terminal marked c or common and the other wire to either of the other connections.
If the switch seems to operate upside down just swap this last wire with the other connection.
Just make sure the power is turned off while you are working, and if the new switches have an earth connection make sure you connect this to the earth wire you should have in the back of the mounting box.
