Electrician

Ceiling switch for shower started smoking last night and was just looking for an electrician that could fix it. Probably a simple enough job but prefer to get someone who knows what they're doing.

I see a few sites online but was wondering if anyone had experience with them

Any suggestions?

You need a qualified electrician for such works these days and upon completion of any works no matter how big or small the sparky has to issue you with a cert. That's the law I'm afraid and to get the local handy man in could well invalidate your insurance if you were unfortunate enough to have a fire started as a result of an electrical fault.

Where about are you based?

You don't actually need a sparks to replace a switch -

" Minor electrical works remain outside the scope
of Controlled Electrical Works; these
include very small works such as like-for like
replacements (e.g. switches), moving
light fittings without affecting the circuit
and adding a socket to an existing circuit."

However, it might not be a bad idea as there's a chance it started smoking up due to a further fault, not just with itself.
