Discuss Confusing bathroom lights and fan wiring in the DIY Electrical Advice area at ElectriciansForums.net

Replacing the DP switch with a 2 gang 2 way switch is likely to be OK, but from afar we cannot tell if there may be other problems this may cause in the wiring. It does seem as if the live supply for the fan is not fed from either of the switches, but possibly from the fan isolator.
However to be able to categorically state it would be OK would not be possible at forum level.

Fair enough. Will try it then
 
Basically all you need is a 2 gang switch one for the lights and one for the fan job done !! The 3 core comes from the central fan unit and the lighting circuit is 3 plated at the switch. If your competent enough just buy a 2 gang switch turn off the CU and copy the wiring.
