Why This Is Dangerous

Faulty sockets can cause electric shock, electrocution, or fire. Loose connections create arcing and heat buildup, while damaged insulation exposes live wires.

How We Fix It Properly

We'll safely replace faulty sockets, rewire damaged circuits, test all connections, and ensure proper earthing and RCD protection.

Prevention Tips

  • Replace sockets showing any signs of damage immediately
  • Avoid forcing plugs into tight sockets
  • Use socket covers in homes with young children
  • Schedule regular inspections of electrical accessories
