Ongoing loft conversion...... which is to have a spiral staircase

problem we have is where to put the light switch without the stairs being in..

I suggested a pull switch which can be used as you climb the stairs

Builder says :-

' I dont think the customer will like that because.................'

A scoob for the person who gets it right ...

 
  1. They dont like dangly things.
  2. It's not a bathroom.
  3. They worry about the potential for hangings.
  4. the string will not reach from the bathroom

it will be in a different room, once we move the stairs & build a wall we never told you about

 
it would be to long hanging from the first floor ceiling to the ground floor, down the centre of the spiral.

 
The kids might swing on it / slide down it................

Did the builder say "They won't like a pull cord hanging down in the middle of nowhere!" (As in not thinking it won't be forever!)

 
part p says your not allowed pullcords unless its in a bathroom

(but is it not a helical staircase)

ive got it, " you will have to pull the string upwards when your at the top to turn it off"

 
Mmm I think it's because he wants a celing fan in the loft. Mmm now that could cause problems :)
