Default Crabtree Black Nickel

Can anyone point me to a reasonably-priced source of these electrical
fittings? We saw them in B&Q and they would look good in the barn we
hope to be moving into soon. B&Q price of GBP 19+ for a 2-gang switched
socket is a bit OTT though. Googling hasn't turned up anything useful
yet.

Try calling a wholesaler like WF or Newey and Eyre with a shopping
list for reasonable quantity and ask them for a price. Then squeeze
them for a bit more discount

We used these in the kitchen:

Not Crabtree, but very good quality - at least as good as the standard
Crabtree sockets I've used elsewhere in the house. Most pleased with
them. They look superb against tumbled slate.
