For safely accessible faults that can be resolved on the first visit. Parts, materials and further work are quoted separately for your approval. If a first-visit fix isn’t possible, the agreed visit charge still covers the call-out and assessment. We explain the fault and quote any parts, further investigation or larger repair for your approval.
Describe the socket fault and stop using visibly damaged fittings. We arrange an electrician to check the installation, determine a suitable repair or replacement and test the agreed work. Extra sockets or circuit changes need separate assessment.
Start with what you can see
Your repair question, answered
A plug socket has stopped working. Can you replace it?
First establish whether the fault is at that socket, an appliance or the circuit supplying it. Tell us if other sockets have also stopped working. We arrange the relevant checks and any suitable repair; replacement of the faceplate alone may not resolve a supply fault.
The work, explained
What the visit can include
- Assess the reported socket and relevant circuit.
- Repair or replace suitable components within the agreed scope.
- Carry out checks and documentation appropriate to the work.
Electrical work is matched to the appropriate competence. Testing, certification and any building-control notification depend on the work; these are set out in the quotation. A repair visit is not an EICR or a full rewire.
Help us plan your visit
What to include in your enquiry
- Give the number and location of affected sockets.
- Share a photo of the faceplate without removing it.
- Tell us about heat, marks, noise or intermittent operation.

Questions about electricians & electrical repairs
Can you replace a socket with a USB version?
Ask for it in the enquiry and share the product you have in mind. The electrician checks compatibility, available space and the existing installation before fitting a replacement.
Will I receive an electrical certificate?
The electrician determines the testing, certification and any notification required for the agreed work. Ask for the required documents to be included in your written scope. A small repair does not automatically include a whole-property inspection report.
How much does socket repair & replacement cost?

Parts and further work need a separate quote and your approval. If the repair needs more work, the visit charge still covers call-out and assessment.
