Shower/Bathroom extractor vent

Hi,
The bathroom is now fitted, and the hole drilled in the wall as #11.

It is difficult to get to the external grill to fix it to the wall. What I did was to fit the ducting to the fan. Drop a string down from the loft through the hole through the ducting and tied it to the fan louvers. Built up a flat just inside the grill with adhesive sealer, and allow to dry. Run a bead of adhesive sealer like a horse shoe inside the top of the grill. Pulled the whole thing up from inside the loft, pulled it against the wall with the ducting and tied it to a roof timber, till dry. (It's still stuck there :) )

I understand that it is difficult to switch it from the shower switch, so I'll switch it from the light pull switch. I understand that it should be isolated, so I assume that two isolators are needed, one for power and one for switching. Is this correct?

You may like an isolator so that it can be 'isolated' if a fault occurs but it is not essential nor a requirement.
Only one between the light switch and fan is needed.
Another for switching is up to you.
 
Hi,
NOTE: when tying the grill for pulling it through the wall, make sure the knot this side of the ducting, so you can untie it when fixed;)
