Electrics - Undoing tenant wiring change.....
Hi,
The previous tenant in my house rewired the kitchen lights for some reason. I'm trying to figure out how to put it back to how it should work. Hopefully someone out there can help - but if not, I've an electrician booked for next week to do some other work. I'm pretty ok with DIY and am always wary of the electrics.
The kitchen has a double switch on the wall. One used to turn on the ceiling lights, the other controlled the lights under the cabinets. Currently, one switch does both. Complicating this, the garage light no longer works either - I'm pretty sure the circuit has been messed up by this re-wire as no other changes appear to have been made.
My sister in law has the same model house, but without the attached garage and her kitchen switch has fewer wires.
I've taken pictures of both houses wiring - the one with more wires is mine - from googling, the wires with sleeves on should indicate the switching cable.

I'm thinking the wiring should be:
top: all wires without sleeves, and a connecting wire between both top terminals (like the working lights picture), then the sleeved wires go to the bottom terminals (one per switch).
Any advice / top tips - happy to stay well clear!
Thanks in advance....

The second pic is the glass from the under cabinet light fitting firmly melted into the pack of nappies.
Have also fitted smoke alarms in all rooms just to be sure!
