I'm about to lose an existing double-gang wall socket behind a new
wardrobe,
and would like to run a plugged-in extension lead from it to a new
surface-mounted socket just beside the wardrobe.

What little exposed flex there will be between the edge of the wardrobe
and the new surface box can be trunked in, so I'm not concerned about
exposing it to potential damage.

I've been trying to find out if there's a surface-mount box (single-gang
would do) with less protrusion than the usual 25mm (purely because it
would look less clunky).

And also if it's possible to get a conventional-type three-pin plug with
less depth than the standard (since there's not going to be much
clearance behind the wardrobe).

I've looked in the obvious places but without luck; I wonder if I'm
using the wrong search terms. Any pointers in the right direction would
be very welcome. Thanks.

I cut a hole in the back panel of the wardrobe so I could maintain access
to the switches.
