[QUOTE="NozSpark, post: 132933, member: 601"] Remember that the On-site Guide is just a guide. Therefore whilst you advise that they have more sockets installed, they are well within their right to not have any, although you must take into account the likely loading (& overloading) of any one socket. As for heights of switches and sockets, part M only applies to new builds, so whilst it may be advisable to relocate them you don't have to. Extractor fans... you don't have to fit them, although they might be advisable. Socket within 3m of shower cubicle - does not comply with BS7671 and therefore doesn't comply with Part P which would therefore make the socket position illegal. Relocate it! Remember building regs are not retrospective.. all IMHO HTH [/QUOTE]
