Wall mounted shower isolator switch

[fabgav]

Hi all,

Having google'd it to death I thought I'd put my circumstances across and get a general opinion.

Right, from what I have read there seem's to be no absolute requirement for a isolation switch for an electric shower.

Having said that, its considered good practice and I am not too sure how BC would consider the lack of said switch.

So back to me bathroom.
I have a fake wall built for the shower area -

(old drawing, ignore the angles bits)
Where the red brackets are I have 2 shelving units, 1 at the top 1 and the bottom, and a large gap in the middle, this was going to be for access to mixer shower unit, but now it is electric shower unit.

So what I was to put a wall mounted switch in this gap?
It would be zone 3 from the basin, but behind the shower area.

What do people think?
Also, I could put a 'door' on in the gap to cover the switch area?

General opinions?

Thanks.

(The only reason I am asking thie is because I mis-measured my cable and cannot reach the ceiling to put a pull cord.
I genuinely don't have the money to re-order the cable unless I can sell this run of cable and make my money back lol )

I don't understand where the shower is going. Can you add it to your drawing?

More detail please, zone 3 no longer exists!
Zones are dictated by bath and shower basins/trays, so is this the basin you are referring to, not the wash basin?

And not related to basins.

Switch outside the room, you don't need, or want it there.
