1). Regulations are bound to have changed since then - anyone know off-hand
the minimum distance from a power socket to either a sink/drainer or hob? I
have a feeling it's 30cm, but need to confirm this.

The electricians who tested/certified the wiring in our new kitchen
last year reckoned that if you could flick the switch on a socket with
one hand whilst your other hand was in the sink, the socket was
probably too close!

They did, however, sign off on the sockets I'd installed which were
about 20" from the sink. I don't have the regs to hand tho - so can't
confirm your 30cm thought...
