I am running out of wall sockets in the kitchen (too many gadgets). However I do not fancy chasing out new sockets as the walls have been tiled over. I was thinking about replacing the double gangs with triples but cannot find any - is there any available???
MUST be stainless steel to match the rest of the kitchen.
Cheers
If you're planning to swap a (flush) double for a (flush) triple, then presumably you're anticipating having to dig out for a larger pattress box? In which case, couldn't you just dig it out slightly larger to put in a second double next to the first? If you butted them up tight, and were careful when you cut the tiles, it would look OK visually.
I think he'd be in trouple with par P (or whatever part it is) regs?
In theory wouldn't you be in trouble anyway - aren't kitchens and bathrooms total 'no go' areas under Part P?

That would be the option but I think it would look naff.

No because I 'did' it before the regs changed (ahem).
I bought some s/s (stainless steel, not singlespeed) sockets recently for some re-decorating. I can't remember seeing triple ones anywhere though.
Sorry to be no help at all.

I've lived in several houses that have had faceplates butted together (sockets against cooker switches, sockets against switches for under-cupboard lighting etc) above the worktops in the kitchen. Generally it looks OK - I'm not sure that two adjacent doubles is much more odd/unusual looking than having a triple...

Yeah you are possibly right - I might just get another double and pop it up next to it...

Unfortunately I think it may be your only real option - not sure I've ever seen a stainless triple socket.
Good luck preserving the tiles...
