Airing cupboard advice

or if you want to go along the lines of the tube heater INSTEAD of spuring off of the lighting circuit as suggested surely there will be a fused spur in the cupboard used for the immersion heater on the hot water cylinder????

There are various electrical bits in the cupboard (sorry, can't identify them) and so having a double socket in there shouldn't be a problem so will chat to the electrician when he comes.

Was actually having a good look insided the (almost) empty cupboard last night and it would make a cracking wardrobe - 9 feet high (old house), 4 feet wide and 3 feet deep. Mmmmm - another idea needs exploring now.

Once again, thanks for the advice. :T

I would fix a rail into the cupboard and hang damp clothes from it.
If you could fit in a small rad, then this would be ideal during the colder months when the heating is on for drying heavier weight items and during the warmer months, the clothes would dry anyway.

In the same situation I went for an electric towel rail in my old airing cupboard - that way i only have to turn it on when I need it. But then, I had a used towel rail going spare, so that kind of made my decision for me

Thanks everyone - have got a dehumidifier arriving tomorrow. Tried just leaving the wet clothes (on an three level airer) and they're not drying well and the cupboard hasn't got any ventilation so going for plan B.

Will report back once it's arrived and worked some magic - if it does.

Can't be doing with wet washing on radiators around the place.

PS in edit - the electrician fitted a socket in the cupboard where the on/off switch used to be for the Boilermate.

Dehumidifer has arrived, clothes have been washed and the result is a success. :j Just a couple of hours on 'laundry' setting and everything is dry and I'm really happy.

Thanks for the advice and suggestions.
