Question about Fuse Box in New Build

[SPARTYKUS]

There are several, conficting regs regarding CU's. between this, between that unless this and OH! of course there is also that, plus if in a flood plain then it can go in the loft

Common sense usually comes to play and didn't here that just looks silly.

Unless the toilet was a after thought?

Found another reference to say in the building regs CU has to be at an accessable height.

Architects are Gods that must be obeyed at all times even if they have the common sense of a pheasant with learning difficulties!

OH DEAR OH DEAR OH DEAR ,
Firstly your being fed ********, the cu has to be accessable ( for disabled persons ) but it does not have to go above the bog!
but at least if the rcd goes while your in there it's quite handy , there must be another more suitable position,
My thoughts are that the spark concerned thought this was a cupboard ( or polish - not unusual to find CU's in obscure places in Poland

It's been put their so young children can lock themselves in the toilet, play fishes with their hands in the toilet and then play with the nice new looking fiddly switches that Mummy and Daddy say they must stay away from!

An absolute retard designed/installed that and I would insist if considering purchasing the property that they address this situation or you'll go elsewhere.... Plenty more houses looking for a buyer

I guess the toilet was the nearest room from where the meter box (on the outside) was.

Accessible for people in wheeler chairs???, dont think so, you couldn't get a wheel chair close enough to reach the CU as the toilets in the way.

 

[bugsy]

Its the BBC!

You could have at least gone for the all mod-cons version.

I doubt you'd get a wheelchair through the door.

You need to ensure that there is an emergency light in there in case the rcd trips while you are on the loo. Can`t remember the reg number at the moment
