Ok, im an electrics novice!
The single plug socket on the wall no longer works due to water getting into the socket (washing down the walls in order to scrape away old wallpaper). All other sockets and light switches in the room/house work fine. Is it just a case of switching off the mains power supply and replacing the socket like for like, would i need to trim back the wires..?
I would normally just attempt this myself but the flat in question is occupied by a tenant so i need to turn up and fix at first attempt, hopefully. Or I could just get a Spark in to do it but times are hard!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
