Frequently Asked Questions
What's a large rocker switch?
A light switch with a big rocker plate instead of a small toggle. Press anywhere on the large surface and it works. Easier to find and operate, especially in the dark or with reduced dexterity.
Is it electrical work?
Replacing like-for-like switches is straightforward and doesn't require an electrician. We swap the switch unit - wiring stays the same.
Do they fit existing plates?
Large rocker switches fit standard UK back boxes. We replace the front plate and switch - simple swap.
Are there illuminated versions?
Yes - some have a small light so you can find them in the dark. We can advise on options.
