Dos the 450mm minimum socket height from floor level apply only to new builds? I would like to add new sockets in my house at the same level as existing ones, approx 300mm. Is this allowed?
Thanks,
Graham

I was told 'yes' when I asked this here a few months back, and proceeded accordingly; certainly the BCO had no comment to make when he visited. David

Yes. This comes from Part M of the building regs, and only applies to new buildings, and not even to extensions to existing buildings (unless the existing building is already Part M compliant).
