I have an existing double switched socket for my firdge/freezer and

to replace the socket with a flex output. I have some MK already for
the extractor fan and another for the under cupboard lighting but
these areboth singles.
Is there a double version where I can simple replace the double socket
with a double flex output? This would avoid me having to knock out
space for 2 singles and ring them.


Assuming unswitched FCUs are ok you could do it using grid components.

Other makes are also available, as they say.

The alternative for minimum 'building work' is to use a dual gang box
which takes two standard FCUs but of course is slightly wider.
