Ask The Trades - light switch

Blue98 GDPR opt-out	light switch Jul 18^th, 2014, 10:12pm I was steaming wallpaper in my daughter's bedroom and water got in the light switch. It now gives a slight electric shock. How worried should I be? Will it need looking at? Thanks.

For the price of a new switch (assuming standard white), once your wall is dry, turn the lecky off and swap it for a new one (a new switch with new wall paper looks so posh ) Not a ticky job - Bedroom switches are typically going to be the easiest.
