Default DPDTCO switch for domestic mains

In the loft there's a run of 2.5 FT&E that goes to a heater point in the
bathroom. I'd like to leave the heater point wired in but would like a
couple of sokets in the loft (inspection lamp, vac, that sort of thing).


Rather not have the chance of someone running a 3kW heater and 1400W vac
via a 15A MCB, so wondered about a switch to mount in the loft to enable
only one outlet at a time.


There are plenty of toggle or rocker switches that would do the job - I
have some - but a metal toggle switch in a box...?


The only others that I've found are grid switches; I'd like something
like a cooker point but with a suitable switch.


Any pointers please?


Think you'll be lucky to find what you want - but does it have to be DP?
If single pole a 20 amp two way switch will do what you want.
