New build house, socket near sink

It's great that you've followed up. I get depressed (rather too easily) at how often there is a lack of consistency in often very simple things.

It was either that, or carry on clearing out the garage. Nearly at the back now though

I'd probably ignore the building regs angle and say it was not suitable for the influences likely to be encountered under regulation 512.2. of BS7671.

If I fancied an argument that is.

Good argument. But that's something you can argue about, like we do. The NHBC guidance, which the builder will use, is specific. That said think the OP said it was directly above the draining board?

Of course, but with a increasing population, your argument hits a certain precipice.

Reminds me of that book by Eileen Dover.

Is that the one about the NHBC?

NO , the one by R Stornoway!

and if folks refuse to pay the ridiculous prices for new builds, maybe we will stamp out the practice of selling mass-produced sh*t masquerading as homes
