The standard height is around 12" to 15" the bottom of the box above the floor but for the disabled you can install them higher but no more than 48" above the floor. Pick a height that will work for the disabled and install all of them the exact same height.

UK Building Regulations does not specify an exact height. They do however recommend 45 cm minimum to the bottom of the outlet box from the floor. This does not apply to kitchens and garages. Switches should be mounted 1.2 m maximum above the floor to the top of the switch box.
