I came across this socket hanging off the wall and fixed only by its cables! in the house where we done the electric cooker job last week.
As an electrician I could not see this and do nothing about it! so I replaced the plasterboard box that was currently being used to screw the twin socket front to and refitted to the wall with a correct twin surface pattress and a new twin socket front.
I know that we did not get paid for this as this was not part of the paid job but in my mind as we had the parts on the van and it took me about 10 minutes, and of course I had all the tools out anyway, I figured that I would be the right thing to do.
If you see anywhere or have a socket like this in your home please contact your local electrician at www.mylocalelectrician.co.uk
Here you will find your local professional electrician. You can also ask our resident electrician any electrical question you may have or post a comment or reply to others on my electricians magazine.
