what are the regulations regarding Sockets on skirting boards.
Just bought a new house and all the sockets are cut into the skirting boards and that low you can not plug anything with a moulded plug into it.
Had an electrician around to have a look he told me all the cabling is fine and the fuse board is RCD split load what ever that means but he said the sockets are unsafe because there mounted on the skirting and it is against regulations.
What should I do and Is this true
