Make sure that the electrician is aware that hot tubs are classed as swimming pools, and section 702 of BS7671 applies.

Is that about a rotary isolator within 2.0mtrs? I’ll tell him, make sure he’s aware of it, thanks.
It’s about a lot more than that!
No, more to do with earthing type, where items of equipment can be installed, distances from the tub, allowed IP ratings, supplementary bonding and various other things.

He’s due back soon to finish my room that was a garage. I’ve seen a list of what’s what, I can’t see it now so maybe he has it and is waiting till he’s finished? Who knows but i’m very happy with all he’s done apart from my shower fan which doesn’t run on after it’s turned off.
What fan is it?
It’s a Manrose MFT100 operated off a pull switch in the bathroom. I think there is a wire between the live and switched live rather than a separate.
It's probably not wired to use the run-on timer function, and that may have arisen as a matter iof 'convenience', since to use the timer function requires 3-core cable. You need to talk to the electrician about how he's actually wired it.
Kind Regards, John
