Does this installation violate any regulations?

Andrew Lees

I have a water pipe running above and in close proximity to my electrical meter and CU (consumer unit) and I was wondering if this violates any installation regulations and would likely mean that I cannot obtain an electrical installation inspection certificate for my property?

The house did not originally have plumbing in this area and the previous owners have installed this pipe to service a shower room on the floor above.

Any thoughts on if this is a problem would be appreciated. Suggestions for what can be done would also be welcomed.

Thanks,

Andrew.

    A few years ago I was called to a no supply in a council house. The bathroom was above the supply intake, the customer was disabled and water went over the edge of the bath and down the wall. You cannot make these sort of events up.

    The council placed her into temporary accomodation whilst it dried out and they sorted out the bath problem. I have no idea the result but it makes you wonder!

    Some years ago I had to install a waterproof outdoor lantern in my friend's porch. When his children had a bath they splashed about so much that water had flowed over the bath tub edges and leaked down through the boarded floor onto the original porch light below with less than desirable consequences.
