Beware what lies beneath!

This socket looked OK when it was fixed to the wall. Upon further inspection for an electrical inspection report, however, we discovered an internally damaged socket and a snapped earth wire!

The moral of the story is never to take your electrics for granted!

Testimonials

This is second year we have used MS Electrical and we are very happy with the service they provide. Very efficient and quick to book an appointment. The inspection on both occasions was carried out by the same engineer, who was very efficient and professional. Also, the certificate arrived the next working day, which is great. Reasonable prices too. We will be using their services again.
