I'm sure I've seen these, but can't find them in the sheds.

Its a metal or plastic frame that fits around the outside of a flush mount
socket or switch - they were available in various finishes. The idea was
that if replacing old sockets with new & the new one was smaller, you could
fit these to make up the difference.

Any ideas?

They use that kind of fitting in caravans although they are all a creamy
colour. You might find them in a caravan dealers. As I recall, the sockets
are made by Clipsal so I assume that they also provide the surrounds.

Woolworth used to sell them. More really to protect surrounding wallpaper
from finger marks since switches have been a fairly standard size for
quite some time. Only ever seen them in one gang, though.
