Where can you put sockets in a Utility Room

[philectrical]

I think there is enough room, if you look at the picture....it's got to be a better solution than an extension lead, wouldn't you agree?

If space is limited i've seen appliances wired into unswitched fused spurs to save the space that a plugtop would take up, meaning the appliance can go back further and/or won't burn out the plug.

Only legislation I can think of is zoning, the new position would need to be at same height on same wall, or above or below an existing socket, what he can't do is go diagonally from one socket to the new socket

Can be outside zones if surface wired.

ur replies, which generally confirm what I was thinking. I haven't actually had chance to speak to him yet, but he told my partner this and she didn't argue as she wasn't to know.
Ok, so to minimise work and cutting out already plastered walls, if I asked him to put a socket behind the washing machine (there is plenty of room) could he then locate the isolation switch in the cupboard rather than above the worktop?

Just had to ask…. What’s you doing in hospital? Bit old to be having the snippity-snip snip? more than 1 issue. Been leg pains worsening over past few years till I not been able to walk .. 2 different sources. .1.knee joint .onset of osteoarthritis.

Then to top that. A hernia I've had for several years as just a nuisance decides to swell up to size of a melon and adds to the other pains. Also had fluid build up causing legs to swell.might be this that,s causing the hernia to swell. Both responding to treatment with some IV drippy but the £64,000 question is whether the benefit of hernia Op outweighs the risks of anasthtic .got to have heart scans and ecg in next few days.
