Hairdryer in Bathroom

[buzzlightyear]

Simon the regs are their has a guidance. So you have told them so .
If they do not take heed then it is up to them.

Does the customers hair dryer lead actually reach the mirror? I bet there’s a 4m extension lead in the equation here somewhere.

If she had asked you for a socket for her hoover, and you didn’t know the door was to the bathroom, you wouldn’t be asking the question.

All aside, it’s within regs, whatever she wants to do with it.

I just don't like switches in bathrooms at all. Either normal light switches or switched sockets. Call me old fashioned but somebody dripping wet operating a switch in a steamy bathroom doesn't sit well to me.

Are you one of these people that go around the house and flick the socket switch to off as you don't want dust collecting on the red bit?

Wire a single socket via a 13A isolation transformer.

I disagree with quite a few of the 'sensible' posts on this thread, as the fact of the matter is that across Europe and USA there are far more bathrooms with switches/sockets IN the bathroom than total number of all bathrooms in the UK. And it's not causing an issue.

So the moral argument for refusing to do the work despite it being technically allowable kinda falls down.

I don't understand why we're so uptight about the issue in this country. The overwhelming weight of evidence shows there is not a real life safety issue.

Also, how many people have a light switch just inside their front door that gets flipped with wet fingers if it's raining? Or for that matter the switch outside the bathroom as people leave!?
