[REQ] Chrome Sockets

fugee

Hi,

Looking to purchase chrome sockets and cooker switch. I see B&Q thread but went down and nothing (decent) left.

Anyone got any ideas where is good value to but these. Online or in store.


Cheers

Try Homebase. I've picked up some really nice ones from time to time. I used a brand they stock called Cassa around my house. They are a brushed steel finish.

Actually here's a link to it on the UK site, the picture doesnt do them justice at all, they are far nicer in real life!

That price is shocking though, I bought double sockets for €18 single sockets for €10, double switches for about €12 and singles switches around €10, and double dimmers were about €25. Looks like they have gone up a lot judging from the UK website price. I got mine about 2 years ago and did the whole house. I checked all the usual big hardware places and electric wholesalers and these were the best balance of quality and price that I could find.
