I want to have a combi installed in my kitchen. Regards the electrical
mains feed, there is a single switched socket near where I want to
locate the boiler. I gather that switched sockets are against the
rules because they don't completely isolate the boiler. So how about
if I knock the protruding part of the switch off and Araldite over it
so that it is no longer a *switched* socket?
Failing that, there is also an old switched, fused outled which used
to be used for a small Baby Belling cooker. I could simply wire it in
to that. Would either of these options exempt me from filing a Part-P
notification to BCO?
Are you allowed to "repair" broken sockets in this position ?
If so, and the switch failed conveniently, then you could probably legally
replace with an unswitched socket.

Replace it with a socket with DP switch.
