Beach Hut

goldenboy1818 21 days ago

Hi all

Been asked to wire a beach hut up that apparently has its own supply

I only really do domestic work and 90% new builds so this is slightly different.

Is there anything I need to be aware of ? Should I have a earth rod, fuse board height ? Etc etc

Thank you for any help

yes you can, just 2.5m or more from the nearest bath tub or shower tray. 13A sockets allowed in UK bathrooms for some time now.
edit wow, just checked and it was almost ten years ago for 3m, and more than 3years for 2.5m, and look, no predicted uptick in deaths....
