Hi, I am having my flat rewired and the shower room in onto the bedroom. I asked the electrician to install a separate switch for the fan and the light so I can have discretion on when each is used.
He has put one switch in for both with an isolator switch above the door.
Where this could essentially do what I want it to, it's quite high and inconvenient but he says that according to regulations I can't turn the fan on and off the way I want to. This makes no sense to me as if I simply wanted to go in to look in the mirror and not use hot water, I would have to have the fan running. Is it possible and permissible under regulation to have this split on a 2-gang switch the way I want it?
Thanks for your recommendations, to preface I have very little (read none) electrical knowledge so if anyone is able to answer in very simple terms I'd appreciate it!
