washing machine in cloakroom If you want to know how your DIY projects could be affected by building and planning regulations, click here to post questions and view answers

We have a shower box in our downstairs cloakroom which we would like to remove and replace with a cupboard to house a stacked washing machine and dryer.

The dryer and w/machine are different makes, so the cupboard would need a shelf sturdy enough to support the dryer (condenser). We would like doors to cupboard, but not a necessity.

Plumbing is there and electric supply on other side of internal wall to where the cupboard would be.

The electricity fuse box is also in the cloakroom in a cupboard
Basin and toilet would not need to be moved.

Can we do this ?

Thanks

Do you mean... would you require planning/building regulation approval?

In reality, the answer would be no for planning but "maybe" yes for building regulations as you'll be installing/changing the electrics, which falls under Part P of the Approved Documents.
