A quick question about fitting a ceiling pull cord switch (the type fitted in bathrooms)
There is one in my bathroom, but I want to move it, along the wall a bit (1m).
When deciding the new location do I need to fix the plastic part to a joist in the ceilin or just to the plaster. Does it need to be attached to a joist for strength is what I am wondering. Are the any kind of (legal requirments in fitting this)
I cant tell by looking at the one that is already there if it is attached to a joist or not.
To add I live in a 100 yr old house and I guess the ceiliing is not boards (most likely the lathe and plaster)
Many Thanks
