Going to go ahead & expose my woeful knowledge of electrics now...
The party wall in our living room suffers from damp. Our neighbours is even worse where you can see water forming on their walls - ours isn't that bad thankfully.
Anyway, their electrics kept tripping out which was down to water in the wall getting in & about their socket which had rusted badly.
When having our walls plastered we found 1 socket that had also rusted quite badly (the back box at least).
I was wondering if these could be switched with a plastic box perhaps, to avoid rusting? Is this a possibility? Are there any negatives to doing this?
& before we get into the realms of solve the damp - it can't be solved.
Thanks.
