But why not just do away with the double socket, joint through with

That's probably the most straightforward suggestion so far; thanks, Adam.
I did exactly the same thing today as part of the round tuit to finish
the utility room. The washing machine socket would have been behind the
sink so a couple of horizontal cuts with a multi tool, some SDS bashing,
some out of date bonding and a little bit of "easy fill" - 2 hours from
start to end, and a little painting tomorrow.
