As title says. I was originally going to wire off of s ceiling rose as have done this before but the bathroom light is just hard wired in. There isnt a ceiling rose just a bunch of 5 cables going straight into the pendant....I have no idea how to determine loop in/out or the line cables nothing is marked and cables are all running where I can't access them. So wondering if it is possible to spur off of the power for the shaver plug already installed.
Is it possible/safe to wire and extractor fan from a shaver point?

Hmmm ! One of those 5 cables could be the shaver point .
To do it properly you need to come off the light with a 3 core , through a 3 pole isolating switch then into your fan c/w overrun timer.
We could help you with the cables in the light if you want.
Wired off the shaver would be a 3A spur unit and a pull switch fan .
There are regulations applying to electrics in bathrooms that should be observed .
The circuit should have an RCD .
The 3A spur needs to be in a safe zone , away from wet hands.
Someone will need to switch OFF the fan at some time .
