Best not have a socket in the roof then in case the roof leaks.Danger of water ingress perhaps?
There again roofs have been known to leak, good job RCCD's are the norm.

I think they are safe enough, for two reasons, no easy access and rcd protection. An older circuit to a kitchen might not be rcd protected, as the one I was called to wasn't. The tap supplying the dishwasher was right next to the socket and the plastic end end on the hose had split. Needless to say, that installation requires attention, a newer installation would be rcd protected.You have a point, so perhaps control equipment and spur for jacuzzi baths and the like should not be installed under the baths.
I have just been handed a kitchen drawing where the dishwasher is sited next to a cooker with only a 20mm decor end separating them.Does anyone know if this is against either the wiring regs or the building regs.I was always of the opinion a water source should be as far away from a cooker as possible?
