Scary thing was is that the installer didnt actually see what i was saying was wrong with his installation.

Access and use of buildings.regarding sockets- I know it states in the osg about sockets being at 450mm to the bottom, but is this purely for access reasons?

It also says regarding switches , sockets heights etc... a way of achieving this... I think they share the same authors.This isn’t an electrical reg ... it’s a building reg ... Part M to be precise. Lots of part M isn’t relevent to sparks BUT I do recommend you download it and be familiar with its contents ..
Not being difficult but do the part M heights apply in basements? where the only access is via stairs?
Yes but only if that's where the original one wasI always install my consumer units between 450 and 1200, sometimes at 1400..
Am I right in thinking that CUs come under part M?
Extensions and rewires not covered by part M?
Anybody still installing them up at ceiling height?
