Cross post from DIY thread:
Calling all electricians...
We're having our downstairs bathroom renovated at the moment.
The previous owner seems to have bodged the electrics and taken the fan isolator, the underfloor heating (being removed anyway) and a plug socket for the washing machine from the upstairs ring via some dodgy wiring behind plasterboard I'm the ceiling and down the wall.
The washing machine is in a cupboard (with door) and we were planning to have that fully replaced with a stud wall and cupboard door in the new bathroom.
Obviously we need to have the wiring changed to come from the downstairs ring; the consumer unit is the other side of the same wall so that's not hard. The question is the socket for the washing machine...
What's legal in the UK? Can we have an open socket in the bathroom if it's separated by a cupboard door? What about a waterproof socket? Or wired directly in?
