Light Switches and Power points in extension - height?
Group,
I'm aware of the regulations that don't allow you to put light switches high up where young children can't reach them, but require them to be at a level where visiting wheelchair users can switch lights on and off to their heart's content. I believe power points have to be slightly higher than was typical in older properties. What do the regulations say concerning an extension to an existing (1950s) house? Can I (or a suitable part-P qualified electrician) put the light switches and power points at whatever height I want in the extension (e.g. at the same height as in the original house), or do they have to be at the new regulated height? Cheers, David. |
