Are Electrical Bidet Installations Illegal in Most UK Bathrooms?
Former Community Member
I was hearing about bidets being possibly cheaper and more hygenic, and I was looking into installing one. They need a mains supply, and a fused outlet plate. Is it just not possible in this country?
The first bidet I saw was in a house my dad built for our dentist back in the 1960's when I was still at school, when it was finished my mother and our neighbour went to clean the new house ready for hand over taking me and the other kids along for the day as it was during the school holidays.
The house is in a very upmarket village just south of Birmingham and was architect designed with a central patio courtyard that has all the rooms opening onto it, an upmarket house in a up market location. So it had all the bells and whistles including several bidets in various bathrooms.
I still remember the shrieks as my mother turned one on to demonstrate it to our neighbour, the plumber had connected the cold supply on them directly to the mains and the water was bouncing off the ceiling showering us all in water. The bidets went straight on the snagging list!
