Socket, Switch & Accessory Replacements in
Poole, Bournemouth & Christchurch

Cracked plates, worn switches, tired cooker points — the small jobs that are easy to put off and worth not putting off.

What Counts as an "Accessory"

In electrical terms, an accessory is any fitting connected to a circuit — not just the big jobs.

Sockets — cracked, loose, warm, or scorched faceplates

Light switches — worn, sticking, or not clicking properly

Isolator switches — for showers, boilers, and appliances

Cooker points — the isolator and outlet supplying your oven or hob

Fused connection units — for fixed appliances like extractor hoods

USB & smart sockets — upgrading standard outlets

Extractor Fan & Air Flow Testing

Bathroom and kitchen extractor fans are electrical accessories too, and a fan that runs but doesn't actually move enough air is one of the most common, easily missed causes of ongoing condensation and damp.

We check that fans are wired and functioning correctly and that they're extracting properly — not just switching on. If a fan's underperforming or the wiring's faulty, we'll sort it as part of the same visit.

Certification, Kept Simple

A like-for-like replacement on an existing circuit generally isn't notifiable under Part P. If your job involves a new circuit — a relocated cooker point, say — it is, and as a NICEIC registered contractor we self-certify it as part of the job either way.

Common Questions

How do I know if a socket or switch needs replacing?

Cracked or discoloured faceplates, sockets that feel loose or warm, switches that don't click properly, or any sign of scorching around the plate are all reasons to get it looked at rather than left.

What's a cooker point and why would it need replacing?

A cooker point is the dedicated isolator switch and outlet that supplies your oven or hob. It's commonly replaced during a kitchen renovation, when upgrading to a higher-power appliance, or if the existing unit is worn or damaged.

What does extractor fan / air flow testing involve?

We check that bathroom and kitchen extractor fans are actually moving enough air to clear condensation and prevent damp, and that the fan itself is wired and functioning correctly. A fan that runs but doesn't extract properly is a common, easily missed cause of ongoing damp problems.

Is replacing a socket or switch notifiable work?

A like-for-like replacement on an existing circuit generally isn't notifiable under Part P. Adding a new circuit — for a new cooker point in a different location, for example — is. We'll tell you which applies to your job.
