Hi
I've been changing the switches and sockets in our house that we've just bought as I decorate each room. Just on the last room and I've unscrewed a double socket which is on the inside of an external facing wall and there are drips of condensation on the back box. The wall around the socket feels damp.
Obviously this doesn't seem very safe to me. What do you guys recommend? This socket isn't needed as there are others very close by.
I was wondering if the best idea would be to just disconnect the socket and fill the back box and decorate over it?
Thanks.
