Sockets and Lights in Dubai
Worn sockets, switches and light fittings replaced safely
In Brief
Sockets and lights work replaces worn, cracked or loose sockets, switches and light fittings with new ones, with the circuit isolated first. Faults in the wiring itself, such as repeated tripping or burn marks, are passed to a qualified electrician.
Sockets and switches wear out. Contacts loosen so plugs fall out, faceplates crack, switches stick and light fittings flicker or fail. Replacing the visible part is a quick job, but it has to be done with the circuit isolated and the connections made correctly.
We replace sockets, switches and light fittings and test them after fitting. If we find signs of a deeper fault, such as scorch marks, a breaker that keeps tripping or damaged cables, we stop and refer it to our electricians instead of covering it up. See our electrical services and socket and switch replacement page for the electrical side. The full service is on our handyman page.
