[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 532614, member: 6969"] I am used to sensibly built houses with timber stud and plasterboard walls where it is relatively easy to pull an extra cable between the isolator and light switch box for the second switch. If you have the misfortune of being in a brick house with "plaster on the hard" then it is a much bigger and disruptive job. Glad i don't have to do that very often. So as above, regard the fan isolator as off (silent) at night and on at all other times. EDIT: Looking at your pictures again, that is a dry lining box so a plasterboard wall. Get a local electrician to have a look, it should not be too hard to pull an extra cable in, or use the existing switch drop cable to pull a 3 core & earth in it's place to allow 2 switches one for fan one for light. Get someone to have a look and give you a quote. [/QUOTE]
