Please help. Sockets on wooden skirting. | Page 3 | on ElectriciansForums

Discuss Please help. Sockets on wooden skirting. in the The Welcome Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Haha there are houses the length of the country with sockets in the skirting, "v" lining, even kitchen splashback!
 
The buyers solicitors have said....."There is a plug socket which has been attached to the wooden skirting board. This is against regulations and a fire risk. Please arrange for this to be corrected."

Ask them to specify the regulation to which they are referring, every regulation has its own unique number.
The current wiring regulations are BS7671:2008 with amendment 3 of 2015.

What they have identified is no 'against regulations' nor does it present any increased fire risk compared to any other socket outlet.
 
No links to the regs ÂŁ80 ish from Amazon and other book sellers.

Let them prove it to you . They will not be able to.
