Thanks to everyone for their help. Eventually realised (with your help) that this may just be beyond me and called in a qualified sparks - so a few quid lighter but live to fight another day.

Thanks again, gents, keep up the good work

It is always nice to hear some feedback on these Q&A, how do I do this type posts. Sometimes we never know any final outcome. Thank you mrmiles.

Thank you for the feedback mrmiles. I am glad you got it sorted as my signiture says better to be safe than sorry. With electric you cannot take any chances.

Hi all

I did my first in line shower fan with run on a number of months ago, but the customer wanted it working independently of the light so they could turn it on and off when they had a shower. I took a feed from the bathroom light, into a switch fuse which I put next to the fan part of the extractor and used that as the isolator, from there it went to the pullcord switch & fan. Being my first I wasn't sure if this was the best way to do it.

Any advise would be helpfull

I always run them from the lighting and put an isolation switch in either outside room or three pole pullcord in room that way they can have option of having it on or off.

That way the light has to be on when they use it, doesn't it?

Only if you want the light on. Building regs are fan should run for approx 15 minutes after you exit room to clear condensation. Generally over a shower you would have light on when using it. But if you want fan on but light off you would switch light on, fan will start you could then switch light off fan will run for as long as you have set timer for. I find people don't like fans so if you put isolation switch in for fan it gives them the option and you only tend to get condensation when you have a shower.
