Good morning,
I am planning to wall mount the TV in the living room.
I had planned to move the coax aerial point and a double socket to the centre and then put a TV unit in front to hide the sockets and where the cables exit from the wall running from the TV.
The thing that is giving me a headache is the part M regulation about socket height.
My house was built in 2003, before the reg came into force, so my sockets are about 420mm high (to the bottom).
If I add another socket in the centre of the wall do I have to keep at least this height or can I lower it (even if I add a FCU spur?). Same goes for the co-ax aerial point and cable outlet.
All of the TV units I have seen are between 390 and 450mm high, so won't cover the outlets if I have to keep the 420mm height.
Any advice is appreciated thanks.
