Answered by Farrah, Electrical Safety Expert

Part M of the Building Regulations requires that sockets and switches are installed between 450mm and 1200mm above floor level. For new installations, sockets need to be installed at least 450mm up from the floor level of a room. Adding new or replacing sockets or switches in existing buildings must not make the building less satisfactory in relation to Part M than it was before.
