Our bathroom has always suffered condensation and I want to get an extractor fan fitted. I know it's notifiable, and will get a sparks to do it, but before wasting time getting quotes, I want to check logistics first.
Bathroom is a projection through the roofline with 3 exterior walls of insulated studwork protected exteriorly with roof tiles and is interiorly tiled floor to ceiling. Access to cavity is therefore very difficult without significant redecoration (and matching tiles are no longer available) which is not attractive. Opposite corner to door (most efficient place for fan) is where shower is. Therefore fan will be on wall over shower and SELV fan required.
My question is, is it acceptable to run the wiring from the transformer (located outside bathroom) to the fan in surface mounted pvc trunking?
The run would also be quite long due to the route required.
