Good quality light switch and plug socket brand recommendations

Hello, I'm looking to replace really cheap looking rattling light switches and plug sockets throughout the house. What brand makes nice quality white plastic switches and plug sockets? Thank you.

    Scolmore Click Mode are good. But really it's something to ask your Electrician.

    I've always used the Crabtree (Capital) range as they are high quality and have great feeling of quality when you operate a switch. Screwfix and Toolstation carry common items in the range. More unusual items may needed to be ordered online from other retailers.
    MK and Schneider are the other brands I know are good quality.
    Also have a look at the Crabtree Instinct range. This is a relatively new range from Crabtree, and is also high quality.
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.

    MK are no longer good quality and haven't been for many years. They are trading on an old reputation which is no longer deserved. Most wholesalers don't even stock them anymore.
