Socket Replacement

Replacing a damaged, discoloured, or non-compliant electrical socket outlet. Common reasons include cracked faceplates, scorch marks from arcing, or upgrading to switched sockets or USB sockets. Replacing a like-for-like socket is generally straightforward for a registered electrician; work in bathrooms (where sockets are not permitted in safety zones) or involving new circuits is notifiable under Part P.
