Im looking for a way to vent a bathroom fan outside. The bathroom is downstairs in a flat and the only way I can route the ducting would be along with the joists, up in the corner of the room with the soil pipe and into the loft and then out through the soffit.
Is this okay to do? I would be...

hey,
Hoping someone may know more on this than I do. Extractor fan above a shower in an en-suite, in-line fan so unit is up in the loft.
I know you can get condensation and "dripping" from the unit. How bad can this get?
Had a customer ask me to look at why their fan had stopped working. It...
Morning..
Just wondering if anyone knows what official building regs state about having to install the above when doing a refurb of house?
I have had building control officers tell me in the past that fans are required in kitchens bathrooms and utility rooms, but I can't find anything in the...
Hi there,
Thought I'd post this here before I go ahead trying to hire someone, when it's something I can do myself. My bathroom extractor has packed up (seemingly). Very limited knowledge of electronics so don't want to start taking things apart. I can't tell if this piece of material is jammed...

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

Hello,
so Ive got a cable that was removed from the old extractor, it is a grey cable wich has grey/black/brown. The new extractor takes a live and neutral. Wiring is recent, within the last 10 years. What do I do?
I know I should get someone in, but don't have the ££, so hoping you can...
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...
Please see the attached files, I'm needing some ideas and possibly some out of the box thinking.
This is a surround for an old range cooker in that house of my mate's that I'm rewiring. He's planning to put a range style cooker here but we need to think about extraction. At the top is a...
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.
While the wiring for an extractor fan / isolation switch for one has been installed no actual extractor fan has been. I was wondering whether this is required to for the Electrician to sign-off/for regulations?

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...
