FAQs

Can I install these myself?

While installation is straightforward, electrical work should always be carried out by a competent person or qualified electrician to ensure safety.

Does this socket fit standard back boxes?

Yes, it fits all standard UK back boxes, provided they have a minimum depth of 25mm.

Will the strawberry colour fade in direct sunlight?

No, the faceplates are UV-stable, meaning they are specifically designed to resist fading even when exposed to sunlight.

What is the warranty period?

The Trendi Switch sockets come with a 5-year warranty against mechanical malfunction and fading.

How do I remove the screwless faceplate?

There is usually a small notch on the underside of the faceplate where you can gently insert a flat-head screwdriver to pry it off.

Troubleshooting

Faceplate does not sit flush against the wall

Check that the back box is not recessed too deeply into the wall and that no wires are trapped behind the inner frame.

Socket feels loose when plugging in appliances

Ensure the internal metal mounting frame is screwed tightly into the wall back box before snapping the decorative cover on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with building regulations.

Preparation: Ensure the power is completely isolated at the consumer unit before beginning.
Compatibility: Verify that your existing back box has a depth of at least 25mm. If you are replacing older sockets, ensure the wiring meets current safety standards.
Mounting: Secure the inner metal frame to the back box using the provided screws, then clip the decorative strawberry faceplate onto the frame until it clicks securely into place.
Maintenance: To clean the socket, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals as they may compromise the glossy finish over time.
