Hi everyone
I wonder if someone can give me some advice. I just moved into a house where the previous occupants have replaced most of the original plastic-fronted sockets and light switches with brass or chrome effect ones. Now, I just went around the house with a cheap mains tester from B&Q - just to see if it registered any voltage on the front plates of the sockets/switches - and it did. Rather, a couple of the front plates and almost all the screws made the "12V" light up on the display and some also the "36V".
I am a bit inclined to get an electrician in to see if the sockets/switches have been fitted correctly - but do you think I am worrying unnecessarily? It's all greek to me, really.
