Hi - my decorator removed my 4 gang switch and a wire came loose inside = Ive no idea where it goes back into if someone might be able to assist!

The loose one is a wee brown chap at top, the switches are for hall front 1 way, hall rear 2 way, landing 2 way and outside 1 way.  All wires going into connections are brown and 3 blue are tucked in together in a wee terminal block.  The 2 1 way switches have just one borwn going into connectors at the bottom and the 2 2ways have 2 browns, 1 into each connector on bottom.

Sorry cant post a pic!

Thanks in advance!!!

 
Start by insulating the "spare" wire in a terminal block. turn the power on and see which lights work properly and which don't.

When you have identified which light is not right (might be not working at all, or perhaps 2 way switching does not work in both positions) then let us know what other wires are connected into what terminals for the switch affecting the faulty light circuit.
