In our 9yr old house there's a utility room that has a washing machine with worktop above that I use as a workbench. But there's no power socket near the "workbench".
The washing machine, fridge, etc in kitchen & utility room all come off a separate ring cct marked as "fixed appliances" on the fuse board. Each has a fused conn unit above the worktop feeding an unswitched socket below the worktop for the appliance.
Is it OK to provide a socket outlet spurred off the FCU which I can then use to power tools on the workbench?
Thanks
PS I'll do it before Jan 1st in case utility rooms with sinks in still count as kitchens....
