Been to see a job where someone has had a brand new bathroom and ensuite shower room done.
The electrician changed the lights and put up a new pull cord but never installed any extract fans.
I have costed for 2 inline fans as easy access to the loft and propose to vent via the soffit.
They have asked I just install the fans and they will do the ducting and soffit grill themselves to keep the cost down...
I don't have a particular problem with this arrangement.
Opinions please ??

Request them to do the ducting before hand inspect before you do any work??
 
I would say fair enough. I would make sure that it is clear that you have just done the electrical wiring and connection only though on the invoice. I would - one way or another - state that the venting aspect is being done by someone else.

I have done similar before when a roof tile vent is needed.
 
Good advice above, make sure everything is plainly laid out in your quote citing customer request.
If you want to insist just say you always offer fan installs as a complete job or not at all.
 
Thanks ,

I will do my quote with and without ducting to soffit.
I will knock off £40.00 if they want to DIY the duct and grill and see what they say.

Its quite an easy job nothing to difficult , so I am not fussed either way really...
