Hi All,
We ahve a timber frame house and so all of our internal walls are plasterboard/stud.
It seems every single plug socket, light switch socket and tv realted sockets etc are very shaky and insecure i.e. every time you go to switch on/off a light or plugin in or remove a plug the whole faceplate moves about.
This is pretty much a new house and it was ok when we moved in but after continued (but reasonable) use over the months they have all gone this way.
What should i do about his? I dont fancy poking about with electricity but at the same time its a bit worrying that they are so loose.
They mustn't have been installed properly (i'm guessing they have just been screwed in direct with no plastic wall plug/anchor)...surely there is legislation that tries to prevent this?
Cheers
Mike
