Electric sockets and light switches

I need to order light switches (normal and dimmer) and electric sockets (some with black inserts), all ideally in brushed stainless steel or another colour that would work well with pewter (which is what the door knobs through the house and kitchen cabinets will be). Also looking for low profile rather than flat units as the wall may not all be even. Any suggestions on brands that cover a wide variety of options? I've been looking at LAP, Crabtree and Varilight on Screwfix but none are quite right. I also want to ideally order from somewhere that has free returns just in case they aren't right. Not asking much I know! Or in general can anyone recommend a good place to buy from that isn't Screwfix? The picture is of the door knobs I am planning to buy. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Is this electric shower unit in an unsafe position?
Comments (15)If it turns out that it has been fixed incorrectly, then the plumber / builder need to foot the bill. Did you explain that you were having that type of unit? It's quite normal to have shower mixer valves at that height, but not the stand alone electric ones, maybe he thought that's what you were having???Also just a thought, that if this as this is a new installation there may now be building regs that dictate what height they can be. The allowed heights of electric sockets and light switches have all been changed after all....See MoreBrass light switches with plastic plug sockets?
Comments (5)Hi I'd definitely recommend spending a little extra and having the Brass sockets to match the Togle Light switches. I worked for a client in Norfolk, who had everything matching with togle switches too,(you can see pics on my projects page) and the difference between the standard white sockets to having the matching Brass, is undeniable, and makes the space looking 'finished' as apposed to maybe changing in future. Some prefer the more discrete look of a clear sockets or white socket on a light wall, but if there's budget, and you're drawing the eye already to the togle switch and I'm assuming you like the Brass colour in this room, why not add this with other sockets and accessories etc. Hope this helps!
