hi guys
I’m preparing to carry out a rewire myself on a home I have just moved into. It’s a 1930s semi. And looks like it has had a rewire in the past (black and red colours - pvc cable) Id say I’m competent to carry out the work as I am a qualified industrial maintenance electrician however I don’t have relevant domestic quals. I’ve done a lot of reading on regs etc and noticed socket heights and switches need to be of a certain height from the ground. Currently the sockets in the house sit just above the skirting board. As I am carrying out the re wire do the heights need to be adjusted to the new regs or can they be kept the heights they currently are? I will be getting the work tested afterwards and don’t want it to be picked up on after work has already been carried out
Thanks
