So if he hard wired the appliances in are they any different to a boiler in a bathroom?.....

Never seen one, @Baddegg , except the picture on this forum somewhere when the boiler was mounted to the wall directly above the bath!
Possibly in the section titled “WTF!”

See em all the time down here @littlespark, the houses are mostly old Victorian and weren’t built with indoor bathrooms so are small additions, quite common to have the boiler in the bathrooms albeit in a cupboard with a door on and fed through a fused spur....

I tell a lie. Seen them in some static caravans, behind a cabinet door, other side of the room to the shower. But still got to clamber over a toilet pan to reach it

I don't know the current (pun alert) zone restrictions in the UK, but in France they are zone 1 immediately above the bath/shower and 2.25m above the bottom of either, zone 2 is 600mm beyond the edge of those anything beyond that is not classed as a zone, sockets, switches and appliances can be in that area, there are some other extensions to the zones for projecting shower heads where the volumes of both zones are extended, but then all circuits in France are protected by RCD's in my own place the bathroom/shower rooms are all protected by individual RCBO's to each appliance, radial and lighting, thought it may be of interest and promote some discussion on the safety of RCD/RCBO's within a potentially wet area.
