New(ish) build electrics question

[miniman]

Anyone got a view on how likely it would be for it to be possible to pull an additional run of T&E from behind an existing light switch, up into the loft (directly above)? Are they typically tacked to the studwork (I don't think so, its metal stud)? Looking to upgrade the lighting in the boys room and would be good to understand whether it's a huge job or not.

TIA

You want to drop a cable from the loft down to a switch? Should be quite straight forward.

Yeah I'm hoping that's the case, in theory it should be easy, but I'm half expecting to find something blocking the drop.

The room currently has a single pendant, and it's effectively in the loft (3 storey house, not much loft above to speak of but enough to access). I want to add some lights in one of the sloping ceilings (in the eaves, I guess), without ripping too much to pieces. In other words, take a feed from current fitting, drop it down into the ceiling void and run a switch feed over to the existing switch, which I'll replace with a twin switch.
