[QUOTE="Rooster, post: 361977, member: 4702"] Yep that's whats happening. Not sure on the make, pretty sure they were just plain white no outside markings, would have to take one off to find out and sales not completed yet, it was just a quick snagging visit. Luckily I took a socket tester as it seems a very common issue on new builds. Again I'd agree about the other sockets but no chance of getting them changed by the developer, they won't do anything they don't have to. Haven't even agreed to sort these broken one's yet. Hopefully the wiring is ok and he actually did the insulation/resistance checks as on the certificate and it's just cheap/duff fittings, which wouldn't be impossible to swap out for decent ones although that really shouldn't be necessary on a new installation. Another question, would the built in electric oven not being fixed in be part any electric regulation or covered by the EIC certificate? (it's connected and powers up, it just isn't fixed in so wobbles around/pulls forward when door is opened) [/QUOTE]
