Are Electrical Bidet Installations Illegal in Most UK Bathrooms?

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?

  • Regards Izal, one of customers paid £8 for a roll in “mint condition” in an antique shop, for display purposes only, it has pride of place on their cloakroom window sill.


    When I was at primary school you had to raise your hand in class if you wanted to go to the toilet, then if permission was given you had to then ask for the Izal toilet paper, because it was kept in the teachers desks and issued two sheets at a time, one to wipe and one to polish. 


    Once you had permission and had paper in hand you set off to the facilities, the boys toilets were outside and did not have a roof, which meant they completely froze up in the winter and the caretaker had to thaw the bowls out, leaving users to flush with a bucket of water because the cisterns were frozen solid.


    Just a little different to what we install now.
