Bathroom fan connected to light switch

Just get the fan replaced with a nice new quiet one. Fans there for a reason so don’t get rid

Hi, Yes you can remove the fan permanently but it is there to remove moisture in the air. This will help prevent mould growing in your bathroom. It sounds like the bearings have gone in your fan, My advice would be to have it replaced. You can alter the 'over-run' to only a few minute or not at all. 'over-run' is the time the fan runs when you have turned the light off. Tom from Anglo

You may find a separate Fan isolating switch ( often found outside a bathroom door ) you "could" turn the fan off from here if you so wish, but as a previous poster replied, this would be bad practice as it won't be long before you have condensation an mould build up appearing, try replacing the fan ( or cleaning the blades first ) or if possible get an in line fan that could be mounted in a loft space maybe and ducted out to a soffit or tile vent, these are virtually silent in the bathroom and are often more powerful than a wall fan - thus killing two birds with one stone .

Hi, the fan remains on due to it having an overrun timer. This maybe adjusted on the fan itself. If the fan is making loud noises ideally it may need replacing. Alternatively you can get a fan with a pull cord that switches separately to your light or a fan with a humidity sensor. If the fan is within the bath and 2.25m from floor level it needs to be SELV 12V, if it is within 0.6M from the edge of the bath it can be 230V. Hope this helps.

Yes you can have the fan removed and just have a light switch on it's own. However, you then might be stuck with a damp/mould problem in the room sometime later. It sounds like the fan needs replacing with a much quieter one and this can either be set with the overrun on (adjustable timer after light switched off) or just to be on whilst the light is on. Any of the options are straight forward and easy for a qualified spark.
