Then they are wrong.
Sorry that doesn't help your situation.
Go with napit, nic or Elecsa. They may say it's ok.
they're bloody wrong then. part Mvol. 1. section 1.18.....mention of socket and switch heights only applies where clients are "persons with limited reach."
I would take the assessor to the site, on the day, making sure I had the latest copy of Part M, printed out with me ........... so when the assessor says the heights MUST comply with Part M, you can ask him to confirm where in the document - then hand it to him..........
We ALL know part M ONLY applies to new builds....................
Argue your case. They are wrong. They tried telling me that external lighting was notifiable until I proved them wrong.
So we can review :
Building work:
Regulation 4
b
(ii)
is the most relevant statement IMHO
And more to the point, we have the DCLG to blame for ALL these hopelessly worded documents ........... which I expect will be commented on during the Grenfell Enquiry
Part M, section 0, 0.2 says that part M refers to new dwellings AND dwellings undergoing material alteration.
I guess Stroma class a rewire as 'material alteration'. What exactly does material alteration mean?
