small immersion heater for loft

can these be purchased? I would like to provide electricallty heated water for sink and wash basin, thanks

Yes, they're fairly commonplace. I'd suggest a direct water heater though rather than an immersion. This is a lot more powerful, but it's only switched on when you're actually drawing water from it. Unless you're using it a lot, it's likely to use far less electricity than storing a tank of hot water with an immersion.

Any decent sized plumbing or electrical wholesaler

You can get either small inline water heaters that will heat water on demand, or small units with an internal unveted hot water store.

How many do you need FFS ?

Toolstation do inline and under-sink unvented units too. As I noticed after I'd trawled their catalogue in vain lookig for suchlike, ordered one through a local electrical wholesalers who completely cocked up the order and got in a poxy over-sink hand-wash unit, and eventually got one on-line, about a week later :-(

There was a recent thread discussing just this subject ;-)

does this run off electricity ?as I want to monitor electricity usage for billing purposes

Budget one here:

Yes, look at some of the links to inline heaters I gave above.
