I'm currently in the middle of gutting the downstairs toilet. It will only have a toilet and a small cloak room sink.

I plan to have a mirror and x1 2 gang socket outlet for the misses to straighten her hair because she refuses to do in the bedroom because there is no mirror.

Is this deemed acceptable? It's not a bathroom or any other special location?

The consumer unit is on the wall behind the toilet so it makes sense to utilise one of the spare ways.

Quick thoughts on a circuit are to install a radial on a 20A mcb. 4mm t+e. Length will be amount 1 metre.

I would like a socket that's as flush as it can be against the tiles. I've seen this which looks good.

Why 4mm2 Gaz?
 
Because I have some in the garage ;-)

I probably should have said that really. Usually I'd wire 2.5mm on a 20a mcb but seems I have 4mm I'll use that.
OK Ta
