Should I switch off the mains before the electrician arrives?
Leave it as it is unless something is sparking or smells burnt; then switch off the mains and say so in the job. The electrician will isolate the circuit they work on.

Either way works. Mention it in the job description so the electrician knows whether to bring materials and you can agree the cost up front.
