Right, if i'm supplying a three phase motor in swa, obviously taking brown/black/grey to their respective colours at the mcb, do I have to sleeve all of them brown to indicate live conductors or are the fact that they are phase colours sufficient? Not sure whether to sleeve them at the motor or the board or both? Or no sleeving required? Point me in the right direction of the osg or regs if possible :) Thanks

Leave them as they are, it is in the regs either use the colours Brown, Black and Grey or mark them L1, L2 and L3 but can't remember which page think it is in the appendix
 
dont have regs handy to me at the mo but definitely no need to sleeve them all brown as black and grey colours indicate a live conductor not just brown.
 
Brown, black and grey are phase colours - leave them as they are on a 3 phase circuit.
Table 51 (p92)
 
Table 51, page 92.. Indentification of conductors

No sleeving needed as Brown, Black, Grey are the correct colours to identify the three phases.

Don't forget to sleeve the blue with green/yellow if you're using that as earth.
