new shaver / light socket

[arcintl]

there is no shaver socket in the backroom and only a pull light cord switch outside, there is a extractor fan inside the bathroom above the sink.

can i spur from the extractor fan and run a fused spur to a new shaver / light socket?

Shaver/light fittings usually run from the lighting circuit so the usual method is to pick up the feed from the bathroom light. The fan would be OK assuming it has a permanent live and neutral available. No need for an FCU.

Dont forget that you will also have to make sure the bonding is up to scratch and that you must tell the local authority before you do the work as all electrical work in a bathroom is notifiable,.

This is a joke, You can connect gas legally in your own home but cant touch a shaver socket. LOL

i would of liked to take the feed from the cieling rose in the bathroom but i know our joist run the wrong way so i cudnt of fed the wire to the wall without having to hack into the cieling after every joist.

i will check and see if the extrator has a permanent supply (it should because my last extractor stayed on after the light was switched off

will i have to use 2.5 t&e or will 1.5 be ok?

Yes, we have electric up here now! I was only posting so other members who may be looking at this would know that the rules up here are better, sorry different.

Its hard to know where 'up here' is. Your profile just says United Kingdom!

To arcintl. The size of cable will be determined by the fuse protecting it!
Assuming your lighting circuit has 6A fuse/cb then 1.5 is fine.
