In bathrooms, showers, and any wet room where wall-mounted switches are not permitted by electrical regulations, a ceiling pull switch is the standard solution. At the DIY Hardware Store, our ceiling switches and pulls range covers the 1-gang and 2-gang ceiling-mounted switches used for lighting, shower circuits, and extractor fan control in bathrooms and wet rooms across UK domestic properties.
Building regulations in the UK prohibit standard wall switches within reach zones of a bath or shower, as defined by BS 7671. A ceiling pull switch, mounted above the reach zone, satisfies this requirement while providing the occupant with a clearly visible, easy-to-operate control. The pull cord hangs down to a comfortable reach height, and the switch body remains at ceiling level away from water spray.
Available in standard white and brushed chrome finishes, with 1-gang versions for single circuits and 2-gang types for controlling lighting and extraction independently. LED indicator versions show the switch state - particularly useful for extractor fans that should be confirmed on or off after leaving the room.
