rewire

[suffolkboy]

hi, iam looking to have my house rewired in a couple of weeks, i was thinking under the 17th regs do all the heights if my switches, sockets etc have to change? they are currently fed using oval pipe so easy to feed upagain, also the db height, is it acceptable to have in at ceiling height? they are quite low

Think it is more the accessablilty part of the building regs which require the accessories to be at a particular height, as far as I am aware as long as it doesn't leave it less compliant with the building regs then you can keep them at the same height.

new heights apply to new builds if you are happy with them where they are
no problem
