  • Electrical question:

    I want to replace a cracked socket pattress box, and replace a mains powered smoke alarm. In both cases the replacement has the same wiring as the existing unit and I don't need to do anything to the fuse board.

    Replacement socket box is because the old one has cracked. Replacement smoke alarm is so that it is wirelessly interlinked with other alarms in the flat.

    Can I swap these myself legally?

  • Yes, unlike gas there isn't any things to say you can't replace them yourself, also even though the wires are the same double check when switching the smoke alarm as I had to rewire one recently that was slightly different.
