Frequently Asked Questions about Socket replacement in Newton Abbot
Why is my socket loose?
Years of plugging and unplugging wears the backbox fixings. The socket face pulls away from the wall. We can fit new sockets with better fixings, or replace the backbox if needed.
Can I upgrade to double sockets?
Sometimes - if the wiring can handle it and there's room for a larger backbox. Not always possible without replastering. We check and advise.
What about USB sockets?
Yes - USB sockets replace standard ones directly. Same wiring, more functionality. We fit them as a straight swap.
Should I replace all sockets at once?
If they're all the same age, doing them together makes sense. Same visit, matching style throughout, efficient use of time.
