You sure about that Tracey? Part M Section 8 refers only to "switches and socket outlets for lighting and other equipment" ..... "in habitable rooms". So a...

We need to move our existing floor-standing Worcester Heatslave 15/19 from it's current location, and this seems a good opportunity to replace it. It's about...
Interesting about the 1200mm height restriction. So all our light switches will now need to be under this height? I do think that some of the...
