Changing a broken socket might sound straight forward but unfortunately electricity tends to have a mind of its own. By working with Tide Electrical on small jobs such as a broken socket, you're guaranteed a professional service.
We see broken sockets all the time so we know how to fix them but we’re also prepared if we notice warning signs. When removing the front face plate on a broken socket, loose wiring or scorch marks in the back box indicate serious overheating which is a major fire hazard. A qualified electrician will know exactly what to do such as shutting down power and using a voltage tester to make sure the circuit is no longer live.
What are examples of small electrical jobs?
Alongside a broken socket repair, Tide Electrical work with homeowners, landlords and small businesses across Rustington, completing small jobs such as hardwiring electrical appliances like a cooker, installing ring doorbells, adding an additional socket, putting in a security light and replacing damaged switches. These are classed as small jobs as they often take us an hour to complete but we do know some electricians refuse small jobs. Tide Electrical on the other hand enjoys working with repeat customers, especially as we’re local to the area and enjoy the variety that comes with being a small job electrician.
Why is a small job electrician better than a DIY job?
Electrical safety must be considered at all times, even when working on small jobs. As NAPIT approved electricians we make sure any new installations or upgrade work complies with BS 7671. A good portion of the work we do actually includes testing of systems to make sure safety standards are met. The team were called to a bungalow on Seafield Road for an urgent job as the homeowner attempted a DIY broken socket repair. The customer wasn't expecting a tangled mess of cabling in the back box and didn't really know what to do. We stepped in, identified the cables by tracing them, removed excess wires to create space before replacing the faceplate.
