Moving extractor fan to new position in bathroom

[Mike2007]

I have a fan that needs moving to another wall in bathroom due to shower been installed. Are there end blanks for the 4 inch duct for both sides of the hole as it now stands? As a new hole will have to cored through 1.7 m away, I wanted for it all to look presentable when done!
Thanks

The above is not electrical question and I'm not a brickie but I would suggest cement fill hole & plaster over the inside of the hole. For the outside your options range from cut a square of something and screw over the hole (unsightly) to getting a bricklayer to patch in matching bricks to match the existing.



Re the new position - you must ensure that the new position is in the zone permitted for the type of fan you have. See the WIKI and/orFAQ for details.

Thanks for your answer, but as there is not a forum for air-conditioning or ventilation I opted for the most obvious! Connecting into domestic electrical circuits is an electrical job isn't it Or do sparks refuse to core holes through walls these days? Yes I am familiar with bathroom zones and IP ratings.

Quite often, yes.

Whilst the electrical part of the job may be the work of minutes, the drilling could take hours - use of expensive equipment, difficulty of access, working at height, etc... quite a lot of sparks are simply not equipped to do the job.

No offence, just wanted to find a way to do a tidy job for customer, moving the fan.
Cheers anyway!
