What switch and socket fitting involves
Switch and socket fitting covers installing or replacing modular or older-style switchboards, 5A and 15A sockets, regulators for fans, and related faceplates. In Nawada homes this is often a mix of jobs: a kitchen that needs a dedicated 15A point, a bedroom board with broken rockers, or a bathroom exhaust switch that never worked. We check the back box depth, cable condition at the terminals, and whether the circuit can take another load before we add points.
Fitting is not only screwing a new plate on. Loose stranded wire under a screw causes heat; wrong polarity on a socket is a safety fault; a switch controlling a heavy load on a light-gauge spur is a future burn. We tidy conductors in the box and seat the plate flush. If the hidden cable is brittle or scorched, we treat it as wiring repair.
What you should expect
Bring or buy the modules you want, or ask us to supply common sizes when you call. We isolate the circuit, remove the old board, inspect the box, and fit the new switches or sockets. After power is back, we test each rocker and plug a known load into new sockets. Matching older non-modular boards to new plates sometimes needs a board change — we explain that before cutting.
Signs you need this service
- Plugs fall out of loose sockets
- Switches spark or feel hot
- Faceplates are cracked or missing
- You rely on multi-plugs because wall points are few
- Black marks around a socket hole
Kitchen and bathroom points
Kitchens need carefully placed 15A points away from splash. Bathrooms need correct height and careful sealing around the plate. If you also want a new light or fan controlled from the same board, see fan and light installation. Call 7645914216 and say how many points and which rooms.
