Hi,
Got builders in at the moment renovating a property I bought.
Its up to me to supply the electrical sockets and light switches, but I am a total novice when it comes to this.
The faceplates/covers of all the light switches are all going to be changed over.
Can I just get any faceplates and will they fit onto the old back boxes?
Will they simply be screwed onto the old back boxes or do I need to understand the back box size or something?
I am thinking about ordering online to as seems lot cheaper than screwfix type shops:
https://www.electricalcounter.co.uk...shed+Stainless+Steel+Double+Socket/3835544614
Do these packs come with screws etc or are they separate too?
That site electricalcounter.co.uk looks really cheap unless I am missing a reason why, about half price of screwfix so possible saving of £200 or more for the full house. Are all trade counters these sort of prices as if so I might as well hunt out a local trade counter who can give me the advice and I can take back anything that isnt right. Any local shops anyone can recommenced in Manchester/Oldham/ Tameside area.
Last question: the hallway light switches, downstairs hallway will have switch for downstairs hallway light and upstairs landing. Is 2 gang 2 way correct?
And upstairs landing will have switch for landing light and bathroom. 2 gang 2 way again?
Cheers
