From you post I would say you are best getting an electrician to look at this for you which you are now legally obliged to do. There are a few on this forum

Hi, looking for some forum electrical help.
Want to fit two wall lights. Old ones have been removed (by someone else in the past).
This has left with cables coming out the wall. One set of cables is a single cable with three wires. This seems straight forward, just plug each cable into the correct hole on the light fitting.
However, the other set of cables is actually two cables coming out the wall (each with a set of 3 wires).
Now initially I thought I can just jam each of the two (say blue) wires into their corresponding (neural) fitting on the new light etc etc. However, looking a few vids online, i'm now thinking that one of these goes to the light switch and as such I need some funky wiring setup. Previously there was a single light fitting located at this point. Both lights are controlled by a single switch.
Question is whether my initial assumption was correct or do I need some sort of junction/'rose' setup? And if it is the latter, any pointers.
Thanks in advance.
