    I'd have no problem doing it as a layperson. whistling.gif
    Anything with an outdoor rating would suffice.

    If there is no shower or bath in the room (as is the case in this example I would think) I can not see why it should be treated any differently to a kitchen or utility room (as they all have sinks).

    Maudi, what do you intend to plug into this socket?
    The reason I ask is that it would be preferable to install a spur outlet in my opinion.

    Id be using it for hoover or say the car vac charger..and I thought a spur would be the way to go too.

    By a spur outlet I mean one of these:

    These are used for permanently connected devices.
    So in your case I would suggest an ordinary socket outlet.

    Would it not suit better to have a socket outside of this room for a vacuum cleaner?
