Is there such a things?

I.e. I'm looking for something like this:-

but for fitting into a plaster on brick/breezeblock wall.

... or is the technique simply to fit two metal boxes close next to
each other?

Either way with metal boxes the difficulty will be to finish properly
between the two.

Would it be permissable to fit a dry-lining box (like the one above)
in a plaster/brick wall? It would need a bit of bodging to fix it but
would finish properly between the two accessories.


I haven't got enough space really to leave enough gap to avoid
disintegration of the plaster between the two boxes.

assuming you use socket plates with straight edges, you shouldn't see the
gap between the two units, so just cut a big hole. Measure carefully when
you install the boxes. You could always fill the gap between the two with
something from a mastic gun afterwards if it bothers you.
