I was asked to give a quote for remedial work on a PIR in a terraced house. One of the observations was "No Home Office Skirt in bathroom".
I have to be honest and admit I had never heard of 'Home Office Skirt' but a quick google search soon cleared that up.
In the bathroom is a standard pendant lampholder with lampshade. I was under the impression that pendant lampholders were not allowed in bathrooms at all although they are very high ceilings and the lampholder is probably more than 2.25m from the floor (I will measure it today).
Are batten lampholders permitted in bathrooms because they have a Home Office Skirt and if so, does putting the Home Office Skirt onto a pendant instead comply with the regs as the PIR suggests.
(I hope I get some answers as the wife will spot "Home Office Skirt" in Google search and I could be in trouble!)
