Quick question: When installing electrical power sockets in the living room or bedroom, what height from the floor are they 'usually' installed?

yes, but to do electrical work like putting in/moving solid core T/E, don't you need to be certified now, or get the work certified as per part P? If you don't know the score regarding what you can and can't do with sockets, then it's a fair guess that you're not likely to meet the threshold for part P either, and so should be leaving the work to a pro.
I hope this comes across in the right way, as I genuinely appreciate your reply, but the thread has slightly moved off topic because you have made an assumption that I will be installing the sockets myself.

To clarify, I need to mark where I want my fully qualified electrician to install the sockets.

I thought it would make sense to mark the wall accurately rather than approximately.
