Thaks for your help


This is as safe as Houses for any 'owd Dears' airing cupboard!

 

Just install a very small radiator run off your central heating.

 

This is as good as any

Electric heaters are always a bit iffy in an airing cupborad as there is a good chance they will get covered by blankets or towels or something. Fit a rad.

 

this would be better and safer

I have fitted a few of these in airing cupboards. They heat it up a treat and are reasonably priced for someone on a pension.

You probably posted your message with the naive belief that there were experienced tradesfolk out there just waiting to decant their vast reservoirs of knowledge. Oh well, another illusion shattered. Just a bunch of comedians with time on their hands!
Just Google LST (low surface temperature) tubular heater and a couple of hundred watts would be ample for airing clothes. You could use the dedicated immersion heater wiring but replace the 13A fuse in the fcu with a 3A.

 

Sorry i was being daft, you couldnt get that in. Now for a serious post!

This will fit in is fume free and is sure to dry sodden laundry in no time.
