E3 too far for me. You probably won't blow yourself up with a double socket? It's not much more complex than a plug.
Safe isolation is the key. To the layman, turn the power off before working on it. Then check that it's off.
Fair play if you don't want to do it though, there might be someone local that would pop round and help out.
Airhead-
Cheers. I have one of those srewdrivers that checks for current and I have swapped out some switches and sockets before but this one is a god damn mess! My flat has been cowboyed... can I just buy those connecter things and join up matching coloured wires then plaster over? (with some sort of cover obvs, not plaster up wires).

Any electricians free to cap off a mess of a double socket for me? I fear blowing myself up. E3. Thanks.
