    Leak through bathroom light fitting

    Hello, I live in a flat and the flat above me had a burst pipe in their bathroom late overnight and water poured down through my bathroom light fitting into my bathroom for over an hour or more I would say. A plumber came out and has fixed the leak and the water has finally stopped coming through my light. I've turned off the power for the light at the mains, it is one switch for all lights in the flat. I wanted to check how long should I let the power stay off for to dry out the light fitting and should I avoid taking a shower in case it adds extra moisture or would that not be a problem? The light fitting is a 4 bulb spotlight fitting so I don't think any water actually got into the electric wiring part it was all coming through gaps around the bulbs. Thank you in advance

We have a spare position for this on the board which incidentally is the same one since the house was built (2000) The circuit board is in the garage which has a door leading into the kitchen. We currently just have a gas hob.

    Is it OK to box in white goods?

    We want to box in our white goods to make them look nicer, but are there any building regs or issues such as access and airflow that we need to consider? I think there is with boilers but not sure about electricals like fridges and washing machines?
