Switch

I have a light switch panel downstairs. 4 switches on it. 1 switch serves no purpose and only the 3 are actually needed. I want to replace the 4 switches with 3. Is this cheap and easy to do or messy job? Thanks

It is generally very simple, clean and should not cost much.

Less than ten euro, I think to buy a triple gang switch. Should fit into the existing box (don't forget to isolate the power supply before you change it)

It is easy to change it out once your handy electrical work. The only big fix is the the size of the back box you need a single back box so some plastering is needed
