If its one owns socket then who cares. something that was deemed safe
earlier is no less safe now, only the goal posts have been moved.
I have a t least three sockets in my kitchen very close to the sink. the
reason of course is that the kitchen is so small there is no way to put them
anywhere else!

Thus, I have to move a double socket in preparation for a new
boiler.

I can move it to the left which then makes it much closer to the
kitchen sink. Whats the minimum distance required between the
kitchen sink and a wall mounted socket?

I can't move it to the right as it would then be up against the
corner of the wall so it would have to move onto the adjacent wall.


If it's a KITCHEN socket won't you need a part P electrician to move
it? :-)

In a DIY group?
