HEIGHT OF ELECTRICAL SOCKET AND SWITCH OUTLETS
The building regulations ( Not Scotland) state that switches and sockets in houses should be installed in a way that persons with limited reach can use them easily.
The suggested heights are, for socket outlets, no lower than 450mm from the floor and for switches, TV points, telephone outlets, doorbells etc, no higher than 1200mm from the floor.
Unless the house is specifically designed for a person with limited reach these requirements do not apply in garages and kitchens.
