Bathroom zones in a cloakroom

[trey]

In a cloakroom (sink and toilet), do you form zones, similar to bathrooms. I've had a quick look but haven't found the definitive guide as the are many sites with incorrect bathroom zone diagrams.

A friend at work, with some credibility as he DIY built his own house (literally, not just project managed), thought that any sink generated zones based on 60cm radial from the top of taps and sides of sinks. Whereas, the wiki for this site states that bathroom regulations apply only to rooms with shower basins or baths.

I'm trying to calculate if we have enough space to fit toilet, sink and electric boiler in a space that we would like to make a cloakroom.

In this instance a special location has a bath or shower in it. Have a look around your cloakroom.....

any sign of baths or showers? Have you looked in the waste bin, they hide there sometimes.

If there's no sign then there's no zones. BUT anything you fit ANYWHERE has to be suitable for the environment. And you have to take care of safety.

Havent seen the layout but generally youd should be OK if the boiler is fed from a hardwired FCU.

Mind-boggling, isn't it, that someone could build their own house and not only be so ignorant of the regulations but also not be bothered to get hold of a copy....

I blame the screwfix catalogue for that!
