Wall plug socket always ‘on’
I have a standard wall socket thats always worked fine - however it now doesnt seem to turn off, whether the switch is in the ‘on’ or ‘off’ position. I.e whatever is plugged in continues to be powered whichever position the switch is in! Is it safe to keep using the socket??
Inaccessible fused spur and outlet
I'm currently refitting a kitchen which a cowboy made a real mess out of, the customer is hoping to recover some of what she paid to the previous contractor. The fitter had installed an integrated fridge freezer unit covering two fused spurs, and the outlet for the fridge, they had also left the outlet for the dishwasher behind the dishwasher unit (which was fed from one of the two spurs behind the fridge). I've always been told the aforementioned practise is illegal, or at very least in breach of regulations. Can anyone confirm if this is correct, and point me in the right direction of some literature to verify this? There were also sockets above the gas hob, and within 300mm of the sink. Thanks in advance 👍🏻
