Bathroom Extractor Fan

[tandh]

I already have a working extractor fan in my bathroom that i would like to replace. Am i right in thinking that i can just buy the item in the below link and then have my electrician connect it up to the old flexible ducking hose?

Why would you need an Electrician to fit an 'Extractor Fan Front Panel with Fitting Frame Ventilation Ducting Cover Air Vent?'

[tandh]

I thought you need to for building regs?

[Baldric]

tandh, the link is to a non-electrical Frame Ventilation Ducting Cover Air Vent

I think Baldric is pointing out that your link is not for a fan, just a cover.

Spot on Hopkirk

lol, that's why I wanted to check as I wasn't sure if this is the right thing

[Buenchico]

Only NEW circuitry has to be installed (or, at least, inspected) by a qualified electrician. Replacing electrical items (such as plug sockets, light fittings and extractor fans), using existing wiring, is something which anyone can legally do.

As others have pointed out though, your link doesn't go to a fan anyway!

You need something like this:

[tonyav]

LOL, they all say that ;-)

A fan is bound to cost more than a cover - the seller in your first link has a smart one too.

She dosn't want smart though, Mamya. She wants sexy ;-)

[gness]

Honestly!!!!...... doesn't take much to get Tony bragging does it!!!!...;-)

[tonyav]

Doh, she's spotted me.

[Mamyalynne]

Mine's sexier than yours if I may say so.........;-)

[tonyav]

Ok Ok, I ain't gonna argue with you, Mamya.
( Or I ain't gonna say 'you show me yours and I'll show you mine' ).

tandh's profile says Male

[Mamyalynne]

Anyone can buy an extractor fan but I think Tandh is a lady.
