I had one sparks tell me that 'no he definitely couldnt put a socket into a downstairs toilet'.(.it has a small sink and a toilet bowl.).and another who said 'its definitely ok to install an extra socket in the same room..I know it cant be done in a bathroom for obvious reasons but whos correct in the above scenario?

i don't think there's any problem with it

never fitted one though

I'd have no problem doing it as a layperson.
Anything with an outdoor rating would suffice.

If there is no shower or bath in the room (as is the case in this example I would think) I can not see why it should be treated any differently to a kitchen or utility room (as they all have sinks).

Maudi, what do you intend to plug into this socket?
The reason I ask is that it would be preferable to install a spur outlet in my opinion.

Id be using it for hoover or say the car vac charger..and I thought a spur would be the way to go too.

By a spur outlet I mean one of these:



These are used for permanently connected devices.
So in your case I would suggest an ordinary socket outlet.

Would it not suit better to have a socket outside of this room for a vacuum cleaner?

if you have a large downstairs loo and sink can you put a socket in the room for a washing machine / tumble dryer? ive seen some where socket is up high on the wall?
