The Wessex White Switched 13A Socket is designed for homeowners and professionals seeking a reliable, stylish, and easy-to-integrate electrical outlet. Its key benefit is a seamless, modern aesthetic with durable, scratch-resistant, and anti-microbial faceplates. A potential caveat is that while it offers push-in screw covers for a clean look, proper installation by a qualified electrician is always recommended for safety and compliance.

This socket is BS 1363 ASTA approved, ensuring it meets British safety standards for 13-amp sockets.
No, this socket is designed for indoor use only. Outdoor sockets require specific weatherproofing.
Use a soft, damp cloth. Mild, non-abrasive cleaners can be used if needed. Always ensure the power is off before cleaning.
The Wessex White Switched 13A Socket comes with a 15-year manufacturer's warranty, subject to their terms and conditions.
Electrical installations should always be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
The 'soft edge' design refers to the slightly rounded, smooth profile of the socket's faceplate, which allows it to blend more aesthetically with wall surfaces compared to sharp-edged designs.
While the push-in screw covers are designed to stay in place, if they are lost or damaged, you may be able to source replacements from the manufacturer or specialized electrical component suppliers.
Verify that the circuit breaker for the socket is switched on. Check for loose wiring connections (ensure power is isolated before inspection). If the issue persists, contact a qualified electrician.
Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the switch. If the switch feels mechanically compromised, it may require replacement by an electrician.
For minor scratches, try a plastic restorer suitable for white plastics. For significant damage or discoloration, the faceplate or the entire unit may need replacement. Consult the warranty for details.
Reattach the covers by pressing them firmly over the screw heads. If covers are lost, replacements may be available from the manufacturer or electrical suppliers.
