I've put in a load of matt stainless steel sockets in my house - I

Problem is, some of my sockets are mounted in white plastic surface
boxes because some of the walls are wooden.

I want to replace these with satin stainless steel boxes. Does
anyone know where I might be able to find these? I've drawn a blank.

Cheers,

Heh!

The boxes will be out of sight why cant you just use the normal
galvanised
type?

No, they boxes are not out of site, cos they're mounted directly onto the
wood itself. Using boxes like these http://tinyurl.com/s272w.



Is it a hollow wall? I'm confused (aren't I always?) by the "wooden wall"
description. If the wall is hollow you could probably use a dry lining
box. These allow you to retrofit a flush box into a hollow wall. You can
then add whatever face plate you wish.

Nah, it's a solid wood wall. Built out of beams and panels.

(My house is a semi - the full house was split down the middle many, many
years ago, probably before I was born. As part of adding the staircase to
my half a two storey wooden wall was fitted.)
