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?

How about a simple 20A dp switch in the loft to feed the heater? When you
are working in the loft then just turn the heater off with this switch.

Other options would be to use a contactor or as Dave Plowman has pointed out
use a 20A 2 way switch (it would probably have to be a grid one though).
