Two sockets totally inacessable, council electric inspection in a week. Most sockets are accessible

What's your reason for posting this? Are you concerned that you will somehow be in trouble if two sockets can't be accessed?

 

[snowhead]

What makes them inaccessible, moveable furniture in front or something more permanent?
Have the Council asked you to make sure all sockets can be accessed?

Yes I'm concerned,! The council sent letter saying make sure all acessable, so I'm asking is it possible to do an inspection with 2 sockets that you can't get to? Sorry if this is too insignificant for your forum.

No need to be like that, he's just wanting some background/details about your question. There wasn't much detail in your original post.

I think the best thing to do is reply to the council - advise them of the situation and see if it will be a problem for them.
Different councils might have different opinions.

I think you'll be fine, don't worry. When we test it's normal to do a 'sample' - so basically not every single outlet. When the tester visits you, just point them out (where they're behind furniture, I'm guessing) and unless some other part of the testing throws up a problem that might be related to those then it's unlikely to even be noticed.

No worries I had a brainwave and just rang a couple of electricians. They said it wouldn't be a problem, Dunn why I didn't think of that before I joined your site and wasted your time, thanks for replying and everything

You haven't wasted our time at all. You did the right thing finding out before the inspection. Hope it goes well.
