Hi, Our bathroom pull cord controls bathroom light and an online fan mounted in loft. It makes an absolute racket of noise. Bathroom is tiled so not an option to out normal light switch. I don't want sensors.

So I am looking to replace it with a wireless switch. Any suggestions for a product that can do light and control fan as well please? Thanks.

it's normal to have a fan isolator switch outside the bathroom.
Alternatively you could have a second pull cord switch in the bathroom for a fan isolator.

Better still, get a quiet inline fan?

Thanks. I didn't make it clear enough. I am trying to solve the switch noise problem and not noise of fan which is im the loft.. I am missing something as I don't see relevance of fan isolator switch here.. .

Have a look at Quinetic light switches. Receiver goes above the light and switch can go on the wall outside the bathroom. No wires at switch.

Sorry, assumed it was the fan noise.
So really you want light switch for a bathroom that is quieter than your pull switch.

Now you mention it, some of ours are quite noisy.
I think they get louder as they get old.
Maybe a trip to Toolstation and try a few?

Using an RF switch may be a problem, as there may be no neutral at the switch?
The types that work with no neutral often don't work with LED lights?

We had all ours moved to just outside the bathroom door where a normal switch can be used.

For wireless we have the quinetic switches at work and they appear to be very solid.

I never used but there are supposedly quieter pull switches available like the below.
