reading at the mo..building regs, but like BE7671 you read one sentence then another which contradicts the first sentence.This is gonna go on forever..... mate get some books and have a read like we have to, im not having a dig by the way!!!!! But this is all basic stuff

part m 4.30 a) states skts TV points heights 400 -1000mm not 1200mmPart M is pretty clear on the height of switches and sockets.
Part M is only guidance, yes it should be followed for general usage socket outlets and all light switches, however it is fine to deviate if there is a specific reason. I have installed sockets, data points, coax plates all above 1200mm if this has been on the design. Think of wall mounted TVs in domestic situations. Commercial situations also have TVs at high level, also specific equipment required to be at high level, wireless nurse call systems just for an example. Common sense prevails in these sorts of situations and too many people lack it unfortunately now all because a guide says something different. Shower isolators are only for maintenance and are only used by someone to clean/maintain the unit, hence many are over a door as I wouldn't expect a disabled person to be maintaining as they would not be able to get access to it, this being the case, why would said person want to isolate it.
Put the TV socket where the heck you like, the TV is plugged in 24/7 and not a general use socket,
Just being devils advocate here. How would a maintenance guy or indeed another electrician that didn't do original job know that an isolation switch was up in the loft? should it be easily visable, accessible
I've heard of getting your boiler serviced, never heard of getting an extract fan serviced. I thought that involved a vacuum cleaner once in a blue moon.
Regarding heights, we don't fit the likes of room stats between 450 and 1200 so why should TV sockets or Fan Isolators be any different.
And if anyone has to work at the fan, and its an inline fan in the loft...pretty damn sure they will see the isolator beside it.
To me Fan Isolators are to turn it off if its too noisy at night time. Yes it defeats the purpose of it, but a Fan Isolator can't be locked off so if one needs to replace it or work at it we would hardly rely on that
