Washing machine in the bathroom

Posted by Alex Hadden, on
I'm considering placing a small top loaded washing machine in the bathroom. Would I need any permissions? What should I know/think about? The house is a miners cottage from circa 1910 in West Lothian. Would it need re-wiring? How much would I need to get the job done?

Hi Aleksandra, I would get an electrician to look at this for you and give you proper advice as there are various regulations regarding socket outlets in a bathroom. There are certain zones within a bathroom which have restrictions as to what you can or can't have. Hope this helps a little Russ
