adding a switch to an existing switch

[funboysteve]

Hiya

I've got a light in the loft which has an switch on the landing, I would like to know if I can daisy chain an additional switch in the loft itself so to avoid having to make a 2 way switch circuit, which would involve wrecking my brand new skimmed and decorated walls on the landing.
I was hoping to use a little button switch to attach it to the electrical flex leading to the light in the loft.
Is this safe to do!!
Please give me some advice or suggestions if it isn't

Cheers

switch i'd like to use

You can do that, but when you switch the lamp off in the loft, you won't be able to switch it on again from the landing. Does this matter?

No, that doesn't matter to me. I just want to make sure it isn't fire risk

You can do that, but when you switch the lamp off in the loft, you won't be able to switch it on again from the landing.

Or you could do it the other way round.

Thanks for your replies......

So you wouldn't consider it an safety issue?
