Looking at re-doing the bathroom and instead of having the rad i was looking at an oil filled towel rail and underfloor heating. Adjacent to the bathroom is the old airing cupboard which has a plug socket that was used for the emmersion heater, the fuse is rated at 30amp so was wondering if this would be a starting point for a feed for the floor and rail?

Yep, you will be looking at somewhere around 100w for the towel rad and 150w-200w for the underfloor heating. So max 300w = 1.25A

If you don't have an RCD protected consumer unit / fuse board then swap the airing cupboard spur for an RCD spur.

Im currently looking at a 150W underfloor heating and a towel rail like this one:

in a different colour and I want to see why the 270 is in fact 340mm wide, if I cant get one I go for a normal radiator to go in a 300mm gap:

Also looking at dual leccy and water for the radiator with regards to heating them
