	Seen them Dave although best price I've seen is about £25 each for a chrome one, can't see how they are worth £20 more for 2 usb sockets ?

	Get a couple with USB sockets in too, they are a god send :D

	Normal sockets for me. Although for the fire switch I used flush as its in a prominent position next to the fire surround. Spent a fortune on these whilst doing the house as they soon start to add up!

Best thing to do is knock the power off unscrew the current front plate and take a steel rule across the top across the bottom and up each side, look for space behind it you will get away with 1/2mm [Edited on 10-08-2015 by Dee25790]

	I used flat plates and they look good as long as the wall is flat around the back box, otherwise you tend to get a slight raised plate. And make sure your back boxes are deep enough; i had a few that weren't and it made a simple job turn into a bit of a ballache with having to chisel out walls for deeper boxes.

	I like the flush fit ones myself. As long as the plaster around the back box is good though if it's uneven it looks like shit. Also if the back box sits slightly proud so will the socket plate, with the normal raised ones there's a bit of a lip that can disguise that Ps if you get them don't go mad tightening the screws up as if the back box sits a few mm back from the plaster it will bend them and they end up concaved and look shite

	What would you choose? I cant decide between the flat back plate or the normal raised ones http://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-13a-2-gang-sp-switched-plug-sockets-black-nickel-pack-of-5/2334c http://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-2-gang-13a-dp-switched-sockets-black-nickel-flat-plate-pack-of-5/90315 :boggle:
