We have 2 light circuits in our kitchen. One is for s set of spots and is run off an on/off switch and is fine; however, the other circuit (the main lamps) is run off a dimmer switch on the same plate as the spots and another dimmer switch on the other side of the room (which also has a separate on/off for the outside light). Both dimmers have broken.

I want to remove both broken dimmer switches and replace with a simple on/off switch. Bearing in mind I don't have great electrical knowledge, when I remove the plates will I be faced with festoons on wires and is replacing with the on/off switch a simple operation, please? (I guess I will need 2 new plates with double on/offs built in).

Any help gratefully received (although going to bed now as knackered!).

Cheers
