    Heated towel rail in bathroom Zone 2?

    Can anyone tell me if it's OK to install an IP66 or IP68 heated towel rail (240V not SELV) in bathroom Zone 2? The towel rail would be connected to a fused outlet located outside Zone 2 on an 30mA RCD protected circuit.

    Is bathroom underfloor heating still notifiable?

    All the specific guidance I can find stating that underfloor heating is notifiable seems to refer to an outdated version of Part P, and I’m trying to understand why generally everywhere still treats it as notifiable.

    Boiler in bathroom/Carbon Monoxide detector

    Not sure what to do here. I am wiring detectors for someone, boiler is in a small cupboard in the bathroom. Too small to fit the detector as it won’t be 1-3m away & I can’t fit it in the bathroom. What’s best, to fit it outside the bathroom? Stupid place to have a bloody boiler!
