In my bathroom there is supplementary bonding of the bath, bath pipework, and basin pipework before it goes into trunking and exits unconnected in the shower unit (see photo). This I believe has never been touched since the property was built in 2001. There is no bonding on the bathroom rad...
Hi there, I’m a new member to the forum and felt like I could do with some additional insight into a fault I came across on a call-out at the weekend.
I was called to attend a domestic property where the tenant had mentioned getting a shock when touching a tiled wall and the bath taps.
On...

I have spoken to the electrician whom advised...
Need to replace an old Vent-Axia extractor fan as the pull chord no longer works.
I bought this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CBX254I?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
I went for this one as it only required a Live and Neutral feed. I installed it but nothing happens when I switch...
Hi, my niece lives in a flat and has a bathroom without a window. There is an extractor fan which packed up and an electrician installed a new one a few weeks ago. That then blew and he came back and said that the extractor wasn't fit for purpose as it is wasn't powerful enough to get rid of all...
Evening all,
Installed many extractors, but this is a first for me.
Customer wants the fan vented out through the soffit, with an inline extractor installed.
Simple enough, until I looked at the gap going into the soffit.
It’s too small to fit a standard 100mm flexi pipe through, and I’ve seen...
I have 16 ceiling spots to be replaced in a room being repurposed as a bathroom. Some will be over a shower, basin and bath hence need to be IP65.

Hi all,
Got an awkward bathroom fan installation in a downstairs flat, concrete ceilings and (some) walls. Bathroom is already fully tiled and 'finished'. Due to the window in the bathroom, it is impossible to get a fan directly out of the one external wall. A window fan is a theoretical option...

Had to remove a led strip from a bathroom today because it’s getting tiled, now the led strip that was there was low voltage but didn’t have anything covering it. I’ve seen the wee aluminium profile things before, is this something that the led strip should be fitted in when in a bathroom? It...
Hi
I'm looking for some advice for adding a time delay on my parent's shower room fan.
My parents had a section of their garage converted into a shower room with toilet. But the builders did something a bit odd. They fitted a pull cord light switch by the door and then a separate pull switch...
HI There,
I would be grateful if you could help me, I have a very long duct between the bathroom and extractor outlet vent and for sometime, the bathroom stream overwhelms the extractor fan so much that I end up having severe condensation and moisture puddles, because it was a new build. They...
I have a socket in by bathroom vanity unit, .75m away from the edge of the bath. The vanity is completely enclosed with a sink on top and doors that, when open, are parallel to the length of the bath.
I hired an electrician to do some work and once he saw the plug in the bathroom, he informed...
I've installed a replacement bathroom extractor fan. Pic on the left is the old one. Pic on right is the new one. Wired the same way but the fan won't work when the bathroom lights are switched on. But if I put a multi meter on the Switched Live & Live terminals, it starts working. Is the fan...
