Got a bit of a problem with the positioning some of the wall boxes in
the kitchen.
I got a very good electrician who set the wall boxes such that there
would be no gaps between adjacent sockets. The problem is that he
spaced the wall boxes for standard white fittings (around 1 inch to 1
1/8 inches between screw holes of neighbouring wallboxes). I neglected
to tell him that I was interested in steel or chrome wall plates and
he has since told me that they will not fit as they have a slightly
larger outer dimension.
Is he right about this or are there some products out there that would
work?
If the worst come to the worst, I'll move the wallboxes to suit but
would prefer not to.

TIA
