[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 533580, member: 28452"] [B]IF[/B] (big if!) all the connections you need are available at the light fitting, i.e. live as well as switched live, then it can be wired from there. For minimum destruction, work out which way the rafters run, and [B]if[/B] locating a fan at the end of the same void which houses the light is acceptable, you could cut a square hole in the ceiling close to the fan location, fish a cable through and fit a dry lining box for a fan isolator. Cut a new hole in the wall for the fan, and Hey presto - you don't have to redecorate Several IFs, but all plausible. You must respect the zone rules for a mains fan. If you need to use a low voltage fan then it all gets more complicated because you have to install the transformer unit too. [/QUOTE]
