Hi anyone

Im after some advice on the best and safest way to have a shower pump fitted via a spur for a new shower install to our en-suite.

We have had an electrician around to look, but as I have very little knowledge on electrics and plumbing, :( am becoming very confused by what options the electrician has given us :? which are

1) Take a spur from a plug in a bedroom which means getting carpet/floor up etc., which he doesnt really want to do.
2) Take a spur from light switch - which is just outside airing cupboard, cut the plug off the pump, meaning loose pump warranty.
and
3) Put a plug in the airing cupboard, owness on us as its against reg's.

maybe this info not needed but our set up is....

I think we have a gravity fed system :!: , we have a hot water cylinder tank in our airing cupboard that has a mains cable coming from a small white thermostatic controller attached to it (Danfoss Typa AT) into some sort of sealed socket with a label on which reads "ENSUITE POWER SUPPLY".
There are then 2 further mains cables that come from the 'sealed ensuite supply' one which connects to a "Class F WILO SAMSON PUMP' which i assume is for our current shower, and another to a 4" square box which has a 'hot water' label one side and a 'central heating' label the other side.

1st Question - any comments advice on what this electrician has said :?:

2nd Question - Could a spur be safely fitted to this 'sealed socket' in our airing cupboard :?:

3rd Question - If NOT, would a spur need to be fitted from a mains socket from another room and would floor etc., need to come up :?:

last question - Any alternatives or other advice that could/would help

Thanks ever so much........ :)
