I have a downstairs WC that had an electric shower and hand basin in it. The shower is being removed. What are the regulations to have a BT phone socket and power in there to power the router etc?
Thanks

As you presumably know, there are no explicit regulations relating to the proximity of 230V sockets to sinks - but common sense needs to prevail (and to satisfy the 'blanket' regulations, which again relate primarily to common sense).... a hand basin will effect a 230v sockets position but if its in a secure location needing a tool to open a router with a say 12v supply cable will work far closer to the sink
a hand basin will effect a 230v sockets position
It's a "downstairs WC", so I presume it is retaining a loo! We've been told that the shower is to be removed, and I presume that the OP would have mentioned if there were a bath!i am sort off assuming it may still have a loo or more off a bathroom feel rather than a study with a sink hence my suggestions
I know in a power cut they stop working though and that’s the downside.
I can't explain why so many people like to put a socket under the kitchen sink, but it is not expressly forbidden.
