Newbie: stuck fitting a new ceiling rose

[Debs]

P.S. If anyone is a qualified electrician living near RH8 let me know

Thank you everyone for your replies and advice. Much appreciated (not the curtain comments though - it's my little girls bedroom). I've taped and covered the live cables and I'm calling an electrician. It's way too complicated for me to tackle. I'm so confused by it all and my impression of electricians is very high. FYI the SL cable was in the earth on the old Rose. Also the three earths are all twisted together up in the ceiling - I've now learnt they need to be sleeved in the new colours etc but I'm going to get a pro in. Thanks everyone.

soz.about the curtain comment. maybe my rose will make up for it.

How far off the m25 are you? If you can't find someone during the day I could come by on my way home. PM if needed.
