Default spark from electrical socket

I recently bought an electric heater from argos. It is working ok but
when switched on/off at the wall socket sometimes a spark is seen
inside the socket. The house was re-wired a couple of years ago and is
all properly fused etc.

Is this normal behavior for an electric heater / does it indicate a
fault and should be replaced?
