Electric Cable in bathroom

My bathroom has a very large bricked enclosure, in it, a grey electric cable run up the wall.

This cable exits the enclosure at the top of the inner wall and enters the bathroom side. On the bathroom side there is a plastic switch box that has one big button, like the old immersion switches (?).

I need an extractor fan for my bathroom about 2 meters away from this 'socket'. There are zero obstacles in the way.

How would an electrician go about this?

Thank you.

    Most extractors work off the lighting circuits. It'll be easier for the electrician to do the same.

    Do you know how they run the cable?

    Assuming the extractor is wall mounted, they will pick up a cable from the lighting supply in the loft and then channel into the wall from the ceiling.

    You can tell by the way the OP worded his/her post it's going to be a home jobby for the sake of a few quid, but let's not let rules (which were primarily designed for safety) get in the way eh ;)
    Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
    Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
    Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
    Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it
