Hi hope someone can help need to extend the box on a light switch so as to
be able to use a dimmer switch in an existing shallow box. back to back with
another switch so can not sink a deeper box

If you can't go further back you'll have to go further forwards. Oh,
hang on, you already knew that bit.

You'll need an extension box. Oh, hang on, you already knew that bit.

Er, I've run out of things to reply to now. Did you have a question or
were you informing us of the works you were commencing?

MK do plastic frames for this purpose. The frame can be fixed to the box
in the normal way, and the dimmer to the frame, again in the normal way.
If the dimmer needs horizontal screws rather than vertical, you can drill
out the threads in the frame and use long screws.

Haven't seen them in the sheds - and I don't think TLC stock them. Find a
wholesaler with an MK catalogue and look them up.
