We are living in a 1961 house which is about to be extended and rewired/replumbed. The builder starts in 3 weeks and we are due to move into a rented house at the beginning of September while the messy stuff is done.
Last night I heard a loud crackling sound when I switched off the light in the kitchen. This light used to work fine but over the last month I've noticed it takes ages to come on after you flick the switch. This is the first time I've heard a crackle (it came from the switch).
I've duct taped the switch to make sure nobody uses it. Can this wait until the builder starts or do I need to call an electrician?
Thanks
