Storage heater in bathroom - possible / advisable ?

[3point14]

I've got a bathroom with no radiators and a spare 1kw storage heater doing nothing. I've also got recently (2010) rewired wiring for a 2kw immersion heater with its own fused on/off switch in the bathroom airing cupboard. This is wired to a new consumer unit on Economy 7.

Firstly, is it realistic to put the small storage heater in the bathroom and secondly, could I run a few metres cable around a door frame and into the airing cupboard to connect to the now spare immersion heater wiring / socket.

The work you're proposing to do is notifiable.

Have you got a time switch for off-peak circuits, or timers on the individual devices? If not the former your NSH has to have the latter.

It also has to be suitable for where you plan to install it - check it's IP rating vs the zone it will be in.

I have a Part P guy coming to do the electrical work but I would be repositioning the heater. No sweat as done that loads of times before. I just have the wiring there from another device and it seems logical to use it as it was for a higher rated device.

Switches are on Economy 7 which has its own consumer unit and not timed at the appliance.

No idea what its IP rating is or whether it has one but it is pretty far from any water and the electric cable even further away. Where it will join the house electric is in an airing cupboard which currently houses the 3kw immersion heaters.
