bathroom extractor fan

[Ted808]

Hi Guys
Can I wire in a bathroom extractor?. Cables are in solid ceiling. Can only access cord pull for light and light fitting- seems like there's L N E in the light fitting and L SL in the fitting - the fan has a timer I think I got the wrong one.
Cheers ted

You need permanent live in addition to switched live for timer to work.

Is it a new install? Leave it to a spark.

As above also depending on what zone it is in it might need to be 12v

I'm not sure but bathroom electrics used to be 'notifiable' and as such the person doing the work or certifying it needs to be suitable qualified and certified.
Just be aware that if it is notifiable, you DIY it and you have an electrical fire your insurance company could invalidate your insurance!!!!
Be very careful.

You should have L Ls N E on your light fitting. Take a 3 core + e from there to isolator (check if required by manifacture) then from iso to fan.

If 230v fan is fitted above bath or shower then it must be above 2250mm or be 12v

No it is not notifiable work. A minor works cert is recommended.

Good luck
