Thread: understairs clock room

    Default understairs clock room

    Hello.

    I am trying to fit an WC and sink and washing machine in the space under the stairs.
    which was working fine, i can fit all the appliances fine.
    until
    i realised that the main electric cable running into the house, and the electrics board are, whatever why i try, within 60cm of the sink, loo and washing machine.
    I intend to box the electrics in, with a lockable cupboard door for access.
    but am now concerned that i still might be designing something that won't pass whatever codes it should do

    Have you any suggestions as to how to make this work?

    i'd appreciate your input!
    thank you

    i don't seem to be able to edit the title of this thread.
    but i meant cloak room, not clock room

    *hangs head in shame*

    A cloak room is not considered to be a special location.
    Whilst 60cm is fairly close, there is no minimum distance in the Regulations.
    However it is generally accepted that socket-outlets should be no closer than 30cm to a sink.
