Consumer Unit in Showerroom?
May 28th, 2015, 8:01pm
 
I'd be very grateful for any advice on the following: I was looking to convert the rear of my integral garage (a space of 8'wide7'long) into a shower room/toilet. On the rear of the garage wall/near to ceiling is a consumer unit which the builder says could be boxed in, however when I have further investigated, the general consensus seems to be against having a consumer unit in a shower room. As the shower room would not be my main bathroom I would be happy to compromise on space and instead of having one shower room have a smaller shower room (7'x5') and a 7'x3' storage room (which would be useful).  Each having seperate entrances and seperated by a stud wall, the consumer unit being above the doorway in the storage room. Would this be a safer option?

Would definitely go with plan B, in fact when the sparkies get home they'll probably say you can't have it in the shower anyway.

You can't have it in the shower, If its within the shower but in a cupboard you can but not advised....Plan B sounds good!
