Hi

Looking for some electrical supply's and wondered if anyone had any recommendations.
We need light switches and double sockets
Looking for some thing like this but cheaper if possible -

For metal fittings (brushed stainless etc.) you aren't going to get much cheaper than that! Even my best wholesaler would be pushed to beat that on decent quality stuff. How cheap did you think they'd be?

You can try;

you wont find it easy to beat screwfix or toolstation prices.

plain white sockets & switches are a lot cheaper.

Have you got an earth wire going to the switches already?

Just checking....

I used screwfix for years until their prices went up sharply. I now use toolstation and find it's much better value. I hope toolstation don't 'catch up' any time soon.

Switch all the power off at the consumer unit (or fuse box) & then undo the 2 screws on a light switch. If you can see a yellow/green wire in there you are fine. Yellow/Green is the modern colour for earth wire.

If not, you cant have shiny METAL switches. Without rewiring them anyway.
