Who the fuck mounted a socket on a skirting board?
Yeah it’s not compliant with regs. Imagine this is just a spur from another socket maybe from the other side of the wall? In which case it’s not going to be too disruptive to put right and you can get it done when you get round to replacing the woodchip wallpaper.
This doesn’t meet code. Some lazy electrician decided it was easier to mount this on the skirting instead of into the wall. Building code says plugs have to be over a certain height (I’m sure someone who knows better will share the exact details).
Pretty much all of our sockets I’m the house we bought in September are in the skirting boards, I’d say a touch lower than this as well. It’s a fucking ball ache.
So much dust
Wow that’s bad. To go to the effort of cutting the hole in the skirting board as well… when it very obviously looked shit and wasn’t to regulation.
as low as my achievement.. so in the mantle core(crying)
Yh i get it its low but your charger is outdated۔ who designs it like that nowadays
good thing the plug sockets in my house are upside down so i don’t have this issue
If that’s a DC adaptor and the earth pin is plastic You can plug it in upside down Possibly? Someone else confirm though because I’m a failed electrical engineer.
Thats a bad install, min height, max height, what its secured into, all covered under the various building regulations.

Have you considered cleaning?
Clean your skirting boards, you manky sod.
Installation does not comply with BS 7671
