Skirting-mounted sockets

Apr 19, 2017 42 Replies

The part M recommendations for the height of sockets and switches only applies in new builds (or extensions to buildings to which Part M already applies) so doesn't need fixing.

Yes, of course your electrician can inspect the wiring ... provided he uses a spirit level when putting faceplates back, replaces any M3.5 screws where he strips the thread, gets the heads of all screws precisely aligned, leaves all gangs of two-way switches in the same orientation and resets any clocks that end up flashing "12:00" :-)

You missed out re-laying floorboards and carpets etc correctly. ;-)
