Hello,
Planning the new kitchen and trying to work out how disruptive some of the rewiring will be (got to get someone in to move a few sockets and add one for the fridge). It has dawned on me that there is no existing supply for an extractor hood/fan (the one that goes above the cooker). So I...
hi guys
got asked a question today if it is possible to install an access panel in the ceiling to access extractor fan motor that is within the ceiling
iv done some research but cannot find anything on this.
I'm sure that if it is possible it would need to be moisture resistant.
thanks

Adding an extractor fan off of a 6A lighting circuit.
Installation instructions specify a local isolator (as I would anyway) so 3 pole isolator will be used.
Switching L SL and N however should I have an FCU upstream of the live?
It would be 6A fused as specified which seems pointless the RCBO...
I rarely do any electrical work anymore and seem to have forgotten most of what I've learned.
Must be my age.
Anyway, I've been asked to add an extractor fan to a bathroom (with timer) I've done this and added a triple-pole isolator.
What I'm asking is; how are the connections made at the...
Hello,
I recently had house re-wired which included bathroom.

Hi everyone,
I had an extractor fan fitted in my downstairs toilet yesterday. The fan turns on when the light turns on. The problem is that the fan runs for about 15 minutes after I turn the light off. I only need it to run for a minute or 2.
According to the instructions the electrician left...
I just realised that I have a ip45 rated extractor fan in my ensuite, located on the ceiling above the shower, that has no rcd protection. It is controlled via a 3 way switch, that also controls downlights and a light above a cabinet. Should I be worried? Is it safe? How urgently should I get a...

I am after some advice regarding the of a extractor/humidifier fan in the bathroom. I opted for a two gang dimmer switch in my bathroom which operates four dimmable spotlights ( two on each dimmer) All of which work fine. However, I am having a problem with the extractor/humidifier. The...
Flat conversion project and one flat is accessed via the first floor but actually is on the second floor.
Regs guy initially said a AOV would be required at the head of the second floor stairs, then changed his mind if there was an entrance lobby - great, we thought; and constructed a lobby...

Hi all,
My flat's kitchen has an integrated extractor hood currently setup as a recirculator. Above this on the ceiling but slightly offset from the extractor hood is an axial fan connected to ducting to exterior wall via about 3-4m of ducting with 2 90 degree bends. I'm thinking of changing...
I want an extractor fan in my bathroom that is controlled by a wall-mounted switch that will be located outside the bathroom. I haven't chosen the fan yet and I haven't decided if I will tackle the job myself or get somebody in. So, just researching what is needed.....
The fan will not have a...
I currently have the bathroom light wired as per photo via a junction box. I'm needing to add an extractor fan to the bathroom lighting circuit. The fan has three connection points... Constant live, switched live and neutral. I know it needs to go through a fan switch on/off. How do I wire it...
I've been asked to quote for replacing a window extractor fan on a double glazed kitchen window. I've not done this before so haven't said yes yet as I want to make sure I'm not going to muck up the seal. For those with experience in this area, presumably when the hole for the fan was originally...
