Questions to sparkies

I have conduit glue for the plastic stuff laying around for it to seal, I was thinking off doing the T-piece idea as well.

Whats this adaptable box you speak off?

Its just a plastic box which can be adapted to many uses, a wholesaler will know exactly what your talking about

It's basically a square box that you can drill a hole onto for the conduit with a removable lid incase you have problems with the cables. A round conduit inspection box would be fine too. You just need a way of taking the cable straight into the conduit from the wall to keep it away from the elements.

I was thinking off going under the floor, it's disturbing the tiles when going up that worries me unless the misses decides she wants new tiles as now "she doesn't like them"  , which by all means would be the better option. Am I correct in saying wires under the floor in a bathroom are fine to run providing they have adequate cover from water?

Fishing I've never done unless it involves a lure, I got a wire/current detector laying around somewhere. Bathroom is just over 3m long.

Thanks for the heads up, I know the box you speak off now, not clued up on wording to much. Like recently I knew what rebar was just didn't know what it was called

Cables are totally fine to run under the bathroom without any special protection, It would be the best option under the floor but if you dont want to disturb tiles then running it outside is a good shout.

Going under a bathroom floor isn't a problem, the floor boards will provide the protection needed.
You could try sending a live cable from the pullcord and a neutral from the light through the loft space above the bathroom, you would need to knock a small hole in the ceiling above where the fan is going a try to pass them trough and over, quite easy if you use plastic rods.

Don't have access above the ceiling as its slanted along with the roof, can't even access it through the normal loft, only thing I could do is I have an electric shower in the corner which the fan will be 1.8m away from. Any idea's if that could be used somehow?

Also whats the regs now on fitting electric hand rails as most of them have a thermostat switch on them whilst on topic?

The only problem would be to make sure the spur is high enough outside of zone 1, also would it not be better to just take a switch wire totally from the pull cord instead of a live from the pull cord and neutral from the light?

Or IP rated.

Easier and cheaper to just make sure its out the zone than pay more for an ip rated spur to be honest

 Spur would be better outside the bathroom really, we usually put them outside the bathroom above the door.
