Advice please on wiring diagram and wire labelling

To make the job manageable, and relatively pleasant as a winter job, phase I will be to label the wires that I’m absolutely sure of. Either because they are accessible, or I put them there, or because ive had to replace electrical items.

Heat shrink labels or BillSkip’s plastic ones are my ultimate aim but it’s probably impossible to put them on a lot of wires without taking off the terminations. So maybe that is a 2-stage process too.

Excellent advice from everyone, thank you all very much. I feel very much more confident about the job now.

Good luck with it. If your 26 wiring was done as badly as my 34 it is a nightmare. No colour coding whatsoever, many wires embedded in the grp, nearly all of it hidden and inaccessible, some of mine seem to have screws driven though them when attaching the headlining beading. And of course the concept of ducting seems to have been unknown to the builders.

It’s looking like that. Esp the wires embedded in grp so feeding new wires in place of old non-functioning ones won’t work.

The beauty of billskip’s ones is that they simply clip on over the existing wire at any point. No need to disconnect anything
