the saga continues.
i replaced the crimp spades to the best of my ability and slotted them on. to my delight, the 'privacy' button now works and when i ring the buzzer downstairs, laner informs me there is a (v loud) buzzing. hurrah! the doorbell works! :)
the intercom system, however, still does not, and neither does the 'unlock' button to let the visitor gain access to the building.
so, though it's improved drastically as we are now aware when someone is ringing the doorbell, unsure of what to do to fix the next bit...

excellent prep work @lucyh :)
you want these > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-SMALL-2-8mm-UNINSULATED-FEMALE-SPADE-CRIMP-CONNECTOR-TERMINAL-COVERS-LISTED-/131475295479?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e9c89ccf7 < 2.8mm uninsulated female spade, they will take a cable down to 0.2mm diameter. As you said the B&Q ones only take a minimum cable diameter of 1.5mm, far too big, and the spades are 6.3mm.
