Does anyone know of any building regs that prohibit the siting of a power socket close to a radiator? I'd like to have one about 5 inches to the right of the TRV valve of a rad, at the same level, i.e., just above the skirting board. I wondered if it might be considered dangerous, particularly in the event of an inexperienced plumber changing a valve, and the possibility of water spraying around. Unfortunately, it's about the only practical place for the socket, although I could, at a pinch position it higher up, e.g., 1 mtr above the floor. It's for pluging in a washing machine and possibly a dishwasher.
Thank you,
Jake
