Théière Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Whilst on the subject of light switches and socket, may I ask if any is sure whether or not upstairs sockets now have to have an earth pin as none of ours have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 For a new build or a rewire yes they must. Before rewiring I would have a good look at what you are planing to plug in upstairs many lamps, radios etc are double insulated with only two wires to the UK three pin plug at which point the Earth does very little unless you start putting nails through the house wiring.
