  • Thanks albyota that is actually the perfect switch for the towel rail in my bathroom! I keep forgetting to switch it off.

    Do you know if these are available with a 24 hour timer or similar?

  • That looks perfect!
    Thank you very much.
    One last thing! Is it possible to get something like an electronic room thermostat.

    so i can say have a timer on it if i need be or i can just over ride it and choose 20 degrees and it will maintain the temperature at that.

    Similar to how a traditional boiler thermostat works?

    thanks for all your help

    My parents have an imersion heater Horstmann E7 timer on which the clock is running slowly. If I replace it like for like will I be ok to replace it myself without the Part P sign off etc? It's in their airing cupboard in their bathroom.
