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.Â* What you have in mind means moving the wardrobe if
the fuse in the plug goes.Â* 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).Â* But the risk wd be avoided if
you ran a spur.


.... or: use a multitool to make a hole in the back of the wardrobe, fix
some small battens around the back edge of the hole and use mirror
screws to fix the piece you've cut out back in place
