Washing machine in bathroom

Question

Is it possible to put a washing machine in the bathroom? I want to remove the unused immersion heater and move my washing machine upstairs but don’t know if this is even allowed.

Also an electrical issue as it can’t be within 3mtrs from the edge of the bath or shower, so would need a big bathroom

Mark · Answer

You can put it in a vented cupboard within a bathroom, and all the wiring is inside the cupboard

Lindsey,

Yes this is quite easy to achieve, just a case of getting cold supply feed which you should have already in airing cupboard and the waste into bathroom drainage.

You can not situate an electrical appliance in a wet area such as a bathroom/ensuite.

Graham · Answer

Yes you can you can connect drainage to soil pipe and obviously electrics in the bathroom you can drill through the wall and connect electric elsewhere

Adam · Answer

Anything is possible depending on what pipe work and set up you have.

Reza · Answer

It is a bad idea to have a washing machine or any electrical appliances in a bathroom. Because of the risk of electric shock

Keith · Answer

No it’s not due to the increased risk of electric shock even shaver sockets have to be 110vac, no 240v ac appliances are allowed due to increased electrocution risks due to moisture content in the air..
