Hello everyone,
Just hoping to check to see if this has been done correctly. Had a bathroom fitted and had an extractor fan put in by the bathroom fitter (I assume he did not use an electrician for this part). The fan I got was one with a timer. We discussed it being on for 30 min after. I asked how it would run and he said off the lightswitch which is fine.
As mentioned this is the bathroom's first extractor fan, so the wiring is all new, and the bathroom is now complete (but he is coming back to fix some issues soon).
I noticed that when the lightswitch goes off, the fan also goes off, so the timer function has not actually been activated. I have no fan isolator / fan switch anywhere either, from what I can see.
My questions are:
1. Assuming we leave it as it is, ie with no timer function and it just goes on and off together with the lightswitch and nothing else, is it safe/up to correct standards that no fan isolator switch was installed (either in our outside of the bathroom)?
2. If we were to ask him to 'activate' the timer function which would require a permanent live connection and definitely the fan isolator switch, is this possible to do without undoing all the tiling and everything else? Is it a simple enough job? (Obviously I know a switch would have to be placed somewhere, but other than that I mean.)
Thank you!
