Hi,
We have a relatively small bathroom which has a large storage cupboard built in (i.e. the cupboard has breeze block walls, with plaster, tiles etc. and a door).
We want to place our washing machine in the cupboard, but it currently has no wiring (or plumbing). We are getting the bathroom refurbished and our plumber will add hot and cold water and waste feeds.
However, I am worried that the washing machine would not be safe, or would break wiring regulations.
The cupboard is more than 60cm from the bath, but one of the cupboard walls adjacent to the sink (so that if you were looking directly at the sink there is a solid wall next to it and the door to the cupboard is visible to the right of the sink).
Please could someone let me know if it is permitted to fit the washing machine?
