Best sites for electric sockets

daveandclaire

Hi folks,
My first post, wooohooo!!

Would anybody be kind enough to recommend a good place online to get electric sockets. Replacing a kitchen and bathroom so any sites along those lines would be great.

Has any one had any dealings with PlumbWorld. Having googled it generally customer services was poor but whats new for an online retailer?

Thanks in advance...

Hello daveandclaire


Welcome to the MSE site.:wave:

Just don't get cheap ones, you will regret it, go for MK, or my favourite Crabtree are great quality look and feel at a great price in screwfix.

Yep, I endorse Doonhammer - OH was an electrical engineer until he retired due to ill health, and says always get MK or a really good make. :beer:

what about volex are they as good as mk..?

Doonhamer

Personally I would say not, I get Crabtree from Screwfix every time but I only do the occasional bit of jobbing now, not on the tools anymore. Having said that you can never go wrong with MK, but they are more expensive. Double socket, MK £3.45, Crabtree £2.99.

I bought some nice brushed chrome from City Electrical Factors, with getting many, got a great discount, could not beat it anywhere else.....not sure if there is a CEF near you? Getting that many, you should be able to get a good bit of discount!
