Socket and switch replacement in Coventry
- 01
When a socket needs replacing
Replace a socket if it's cracked, scorched, loose on the wall, feels warm, or plugs fall out easily. Buzzing or crackling is a warning sign too. These faults can lead to arcing and overheating, so they shouldn't be left until later.

Updating to new finishes
Swapping white plastic for brushed steel, chrome, black or brass fittings is a simple way to update a room. Sockets with built-in USB ports cut down on adaptors. We help you choose fittings that suit your decor and fit the existing back boxes.

Adding dimmers and smart switches
Dimmer switches need to be compatible with your bulbs, especially LEDs, or the lights can flicker or buzz. Many smart switches need a neutral wire at the switch to work. We check your wiring and bulbs before we recommend a switch.
What to expect from socket and switch replacement
Tell us how many sockets and switches you want replacing and the style you like. If any are damaged or scorched, we'll want to look at them first, because the cause may be in the wiring or the plug, not just the fitting.
We switch off the circuit, remove the old fitting and check the cable and connections behind it. The new fitting goes in with tight, correct connections, and we test each one before turning the power back on and moving to the next.

Socket and switch replacement questions
Can you change all my sockets to a new style in Coventry?
Yes. We can replace every socket and switch in a room or the whole house with a matching finish. Most new fittings fit the existing back boxes, though some metal finishes need deeper boxes. We check this when we come out to look at the job.
Why is my socket scorched in my Coventry home?
Scorch marks usually mean a loose connection or an overloaded socket, which causes heat to build up. Stop using it and switch off that circuit if you can. We'll replace the socket, check the cable behind it and look for the cause, so it doesn't happen again.
Can you add USB sockets in my Coventry home?
Yes. USB sockets replace a standard double socket and fit in the same back box in most cases. They let you charge phones and tablets without a plug adaptor. We'll check the box depth and fit them wherever you charge devices, like bedrooms and kitchens.
Can I add an extra socket instead of using an extension lead in Coventry?
Yes. Adding a socket usually means extending an existing circuit to a new position, which is often a straightforward job. It's safer than relying on extension leads and adaptors, which can overload a socket. We'll check the circuit can take the extra load first.
