A solution to one part of the project has presented itself: it turns out
that the wardrobe has a slightly recessed back, which means there is
just about enough clearance for a conventional-thickness plug in the
existing socket.

In the apparent absence of surface-mounted sockets with less protrusion
than normal, it looks as if I'll have to go with the smallest available
option, which seems to be a 25mm box and a surface plate as slim as
possible.

Thanks to all for the thoughts and advice.


A belated thought. What you have in mind means moving the wardrobe if
the fuse in the plug goes. That's probably a *very* remote possiblity
these days. But Sod's law may apply. Of course moving the wardrobe may
not be a problem (now and in the fuure). But the risk wd be avoided if
you ran a spur.
