Would a water closet, (ie,. basin and pan/cistern), area be classed as a 'wet area?'

Tomgunn
My sister has moved into her new bungalow and wants a switch installed in her WC... thing is, there isn't an RCD covering her CCU... BUT, I wouldn't class it as a 'wet area'... BUT, (aha!), would I be right and then I could change her switching around for a 1 gang switch in there?


Thanks...

    Oh wow! I thought I'd be shot down, for such a simple question, as this!


    Anyways, thanks for the replies!!


    Yes, I was thinking about being outside Zone 2... I think I'll change where I was going to fix her new towel ring so it's between the new switch and the basin... good idea!! 


    The switch was on the other side of the WC but as I'm rehanging the door, to the opposite way, I'm having to change the light switch too.


    I thought about getting my son to fix a new RCD, (I really do not like them as they can cause a lot of tripping), on the tails'... and he can give her an NIC EIC cert for this... I know he's busy and even though I have the qualifications to do this I am not a member of a part P scheme. 


    Yes, haha... always love watching JW's youtube video's!


    I guess I could fit a wireless switch, good idea actually... but I'll check with my son and see if he can fit an RCD.


    Well, thanks for the great replies so... carry on sparking chaps, (and chap-pesses). 


    regards...
