where would an immersion heater timer be positioned if i wanted it in the kitchen?eg. a 16A MCB in the CU, 2.5mm cable to a 20A DP switch then the timer then 2.5 cable to the airing cupboard then an isolating 20A DP switch connected to the imm. heater by heat resistant 2.5(20A) cable?
 
sounds like a fine plan to me

just keep it away from the sink
 
You still need DP isolation. Two ways only switch the live. Think this idea though good would be confusing.

well then you could just use another DP switch to provide that facility. Although i think you might be right about the confusing ideas. I'll shut up now....
