Bit of a challenge for me

[diyterry]

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.

What size cable is that? only it looks a bit bulky for lighting applications

If that JB in the void is going to be used to connect the cables it needs to remain accessible, if it wont be you need a MF connection box

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.

Maybe a bit much for DIYterry, but more a job for Professional!

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.

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
