Why should you get your sockets installed, repaired, or replaced by an electrician?
Plug sockets enable us to use electricity throughout the house when we plug in our domestic appliances. However, over time sockets may become damaged or scorched requiring a replacement, or often people wish to change their single plug sockets to double to allow extra electricity use.
There are two different types of socket to choose from – surface or flush-mounted. Whilst surface-mount sockets are easier to install or replace, flush-mounted sockets look better aesthetically as they don’t stick out. If your plug socket has become damaged or you require socket installation or replacement, always hire a professional electrician for the job who is 100% confident working with electricals and aware of the regulations when adding a socket to the circuit.
