Hi,
Just moved into a property and it has a Wylex REC2S DP Isolator mounted horizontally on the board. Obviously it does its job, but does this contravene any regs, or simply bad practice?

In some houses the CU (and meters etc) are mounted onto a wooden board. I am lead to believe that this is 'treated' wood so there is no creation of a fire risk to mount the CU and any other electrical equip onto it.
How do we confirm that this is actually the case or do you guys play it safe and...
I wnt to flush mount a shaver socket onto an airing cupboard. The cupboard is accessible and in use. How is this done? Surface mounting would stand out too much and be unsightly. The recess boxes (metal for brick, plastic for stud walls) do not seem appropriate or safe. My best guess is to use...
