connecting a on/off switch

we have a fan in the loft which circulates the air around the house,
there is a small white fuse 'socket' box which has the mains power going into it and the cable from the fan ' blue,black and earth'
both the , blue ,black, earth from the mains and fan are connected together in the fuse box,

can someone tell me how i would go about connecting a on/off switch so i can turn the fan off from the landing, at the moment i have to go up into the loft and pull the fuse out.

thankyou

    With respect, from your description of things you obviously have no idea so could very easily make a fatal mistake.

    It's a very simple job for an electrician so in this instance please go down that route. In my opinion you shouldn't pay any more than £50.

    By all means watch what he's doing, but you really do have to know what you are doing here.

    Sorry, but if you have to ask this question then you should not be attempting it. At least, not without skilled supervision.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
