Shocks are always cause for consern. May be as you say the switch is damp but although this may make you aware of the problem one wonders if the switch is earthed connectly in the first place.
I would sugest you get an electrician to check it for you. Look for a registored electrician then he can do any work required without informing the council first and he can give you the paperwork required for insurance.
There are so many things that could be wrong it really does need someone there and with test equipment. It could be as simple as new switch required but also there could be wiring faults.
