Socket Height UK
Something that varies greatly in domestic homes across the UK is Socket height. In older homes built before the many plug-in appliances we have today it's not unusual to find an inadequate number of sockets that are particularly close to or even mounted on the skirting board.
Often, it’s a combination of the lack of sockets and the impractical height that drives a homeowner to contact an electrician to install new sockets and likely improve the location of current ones.
