What as 3 x 2 ways 3x 1 ways or a mixture of both, picture of the wiring and the old switch would be a help.

But do not disconnect the old switch to take the picture !!!

Oooooh, an earthing terminal too

 

[Phil Thompson]

It’s chrome or stainless face by looks of it.

Search local electricians in your area

Same as the one it is replacing would be my guess. Make sure it is earthed.

...and the Earth works!

These switches are notoriously difficult to wire-up properly - get an electrician to do it - he/she will know what to do!

Got a call to an RCD tripping yesterday......found a 2 way switch with one way wiring connected live-common.....switch-L1....Earth-L2. Maintenance guy denied all knowledge and claimed it's always been like that.
I suspect he's telling porkies.

Naaah honest

I told you they were difficult...and, when you least expect it, they spontaneously re-wire themselves too!

another case of the vanishing OP

He can't see to type as his lights are fused.

There are numerous ways wiring in lighting circuits can be configured and it's impossible to advise from a distance without testing.
