Probably all in a days work for a professional electrician but it had me scratching my head. I wanted to fit lighting into a room but there is an en suite on the floor above, as you can see I made a hole in the ceiling and worked from underneath.

Looks like 2.5 T&E
Yeah me as well
Use 1mm² twin and earth / three core and earth for ease.
Layout is variable but could be like this, if it is a timed fan.

Remember the work needs testing for compliance with the wiring regulations.

Click Mode (for White) with Fan Module & Fuse Module would fit onto a 1 gang box.
Looks a bit of a sorry mess I have to say. Gonna need an MF JB above the ceiling, when there was no need to have any JB at all. Only 1 cable at the fan isolator, and good luck setting any kind of box into that mess of a hole for the fan isolator on what's now a skimmed wall.
bathroom??? RCD protection???
Is electrical work in a bathroom subject to Part P notification in England?
It could be a WC, the OP hasn't stated the function of the room.
I have no idea what the OP wants to know.
A pat on the back to say he did a good job I presume, and saved a few quid on a sparky in the process
Maybe we will get before and after pics.
