    UFH mat in bathroom

    Was at a job yesterday & whilst running cables for lighting in a side attic space I came across something I’ve not see before (not surprisingly). The couple had a new bathroom installed last year & by the looks of it whoever installed the underfloor heat mat, they never measured the UFH mat...

    Is bathroom underfloor heating still notifiable?

    All the specific guidance I can find stating that underfloor heating is notifiable seems to refer to an outdated version of Part P, and I’m trying to understand why generally everywhere still treats it as notifiable.

    Boiler in bathroom/Carbon Monoxide detector

    Not sure what to do here. I am wiring detectors for someone, boiler is in a small cupboard in the bathroom. Too small to fit the detector as it won’t be 1-3m away & I can’t fit it in the bathroom. What’s best, to fit it outside the bathroom? Stupid place to have a bloody boiler!
