Ok guys, this is in my Mums house and as I am not a qualified sparky who knows the regs etc I am seeking advice as to whether its legal, or not!
Basically, the property has until recently been rented out as a holiday cottage for over 10 years, with no issues, however now it is being overhauled and this has come into question (its an 18th century cottage...in the middle of nowhere near enough!)
Basically, in the bathroom is a seperate small 'room'...this contains a washing machine and tumble dryer.
In order to access and turn them on the door has to be open as theres only 2 ft of space from the front of the machines to the inside of the door.
is it legal, and if not is there anything that can be done to make it legal...(apart from moving them as there is nowhere to put them)
Is this classed as a seperate room as it has 4 walls and a door? therefore not part of the bathroom?
or not...!!!!
Thanks for any input
