i think I'm being taken for a ride...

[Willbowling]

Hi, just wondering if anyone can tell me what is wrong with my plan, i want a shaver socket in my bathroom, my thoughts were that a wire could be taken off a plug socket in the bedroom up the wall then through the single brick internal wall into an isolator switch that would be neatly next to the extractor fan isolator (presumably a rcd or rcbo in a box?), then wired down the wall and behind the skirting board to then be vertically channeled up to the shaver socket.

so I'm thinking that this is a relatively small job and should be fairly cheap, I'm redecorating the bathroom as it is so there are no skirting boards and i can do the channel and there is no making good for the sparky to worry about as this will be done anyway.

so anyway the reason I'm asking is because i had a guy come round and do me a quote for the job, i told him my thoughts but he muttered a bit and he has now quoted me for bringing a separate wire from the cellar cu and putting the switch isolator in the corridor (which i don't mind), but this seems like an expensive way around my job and seems like he is creating work for himself. I can't see a problem with my plan but don't want to accuse him of trying to rip me off and end up looking like an idiot.

power for the shaver socket cant come from the light circuit btw, as the ceiling is not very accessible.

so, whats your thoughts? Am i missing something or am i being taken for a ride?

I'd agree but one much prefers the offerings of Benson and Hedges, together with tea they help dull the pain of waking.

Don't smoke but always liked the smell of B&H. The tobacco smell from the open pack I mean not the smoke smell
