UK Electric Towel Rail and regulations

Just being a bit picky. I know the regs allows a ‘switch’ installed outside of zones in a bathroom, but why would you, unless it’s a bathroom aka the size of Donald Trumps in his towers!

I wouldn’t have one in my bathroom, when you’re all wet and unnecessary. Why not put the thing on the outside of the bathroom @vaderag ?

It's right at the top of the stairs, looks ugly, doesnt align with the skirting that's running at an angle there...

I’ve seen loads of sockets, switches and fused spurs on landings. Must be pretty spectacular skirting? Just saying.

It's his house, an he is the one paying for it.

Nothing in the regs against what he wants to achieve.

Course it is, just don’t understand why some get in a pickle about a two inch square thing?

Each to their own. Annoys me when I walk past a socket that wasn't fitted level in my office.

I'm sure you wouldn't be happy about a 2 inch square painted on your car?

I dunno, my cars got an oblong thing, back & front bigger than two inches. Don't get in a hissy fit about that

which we've been using as an access void for various pipes/gas runs etc
