Why Might You Need a Socket Replaced?

There are many reasons to replace an electrical socket – and it’s not always due to visible damage. Here are some common issues we encounter across Bristol:

• Cracked or damaged faceplates
• Loose sockets or plugs falling out
• Burn marks or overheating (a sign of potential overload or wear)
• Lack of USB charging points
• Old, worn, or outdated styles
• Sockets not working at all
• Sparking or crackling sounds when plugging in

If you’ve noticed any of the above – especially signs of heat or burning – it’s essential to get your socket checked and replaced by a qualified professional. Left unattended, damaged sockets can pose a serious fire or shock risk.

Upgrading Sockets for Modern Living

Gone are the days when one socket per wall would do. Today’s homes and businesses rely on a wide range of devices, and many properties around Bristol still have original wiring or dated fittings from decades past.

As part of our socket replacement service, we can:

• Upgrade to double sockets for added convenience
• Install USB sockets for easy device charging
• Swap out old-style white plastic for modern finishes like brushed chrome, stainless steel, black nickel or flat plate designs
• Add additional sockets where needed (e.g. behind TVs, in kitchens or home offices)

We can also install weatherproof external sockets for garden tools or lights, all with full IP-rated protection for outdoor use.

When Safety Comes First

Electrical sockets are something we all take for granted, but faulty or overloaded sockets are one of the most common causes of house fires. If you’ve noticed signs of wear or anything unusual – don’t wait. We’ll carry out a full inspection, replace the socket if needed, and test everything to make sure it’s working safely.

We also check the earthing, polarity, and RCD protection as standard – because it’s not just about swapping the faceplate. It’s about keeping your home safe behind the scenes too.
