hi
i have a customer who has the following situation . wood paneling above worktops in kitchen where a single socket has been modifed to a surface mount 3 gang conversion thing with 13a fuse. i have been asked to remove this and caerfully chase out a double.
i did this and the existing single cut out is bigger than the faceplate so we have a bad finish i cant fill as its a patterned wood panel.
hence the question where can i get a black / graphite double socket surround !


any suggestions welcome

regards mike
 
If it's only a small gap that needs covering then the Scolmore Deco range of metal accessories all come with surrounds. They are only a couple of mil bigger then the socket however. Alternatively, i've just found this.
 
I hate the idea of those 3 gang conversion things.......seem really bodgy quick fix type of things. If its 2 gang or 3 gang you need....then thats what should be fitted in my opinion. Anyway, off now as have a long day tomorrow...
