Yes, it's very simple once you make sure the wires aren't live.

I guess you can plug a light that is turned on into the outlet as a poorman's wire tester so you can make sure you flip the correct breaker.

Although, I am not sure how things are done in the UK or outside of standard US homes.

There's usually a great big switch by the fuse box which turns everything off. I say "fuse box" but our house doesn't have fuses, it has RCDs.
