Doesn't Hermione mention something about house-elves changing sheets, cleaning dorm rooms and lighting the fires in the common rooms?  I seem to remember that, in which case the elves definitely are not confined to the kitchen.

  Maybe, the house elves stay busy in the kitchen, just as most cooks & 
  dishwashers do in muggle schools. You see the janitors mopping up but 
  you rarely see the cooks & dishwashers unless you go back into the 
  kitchen. 

  Fred & George have seen the house elves because they have sneaked 
  down into the kitchen late at night. I would know if I had house 
  elves, cuz I am a late-night-kitchen-sneaker-into like George & Fred.
