Hi - please can someone advise on a couple of issues?
I am replacing my plastic lightswitches with metal ones. The instructions are clear - the faceplate must be earthed to the metal backbox.
I have two issues:
1. Some of my backboxes are plastic - so what can I earth the faceplate to?
2. Where the backbox is plastic, whoever installed the plastic faceplate has clipped the earth cable - is this right?
Many thanks in advance for you help.
