What they've said they'll do is sell me a dual dimmer switch plus a single standard switch and swap one dimmer on the dual plate for the standard switch.
Ok - I've just ordered what I think I want from TLC. Not a grid but a double dimmer which they're going to adapt.
Thanks for all your help - I got there in the end. Apologies if I seemed dense - some of the responses got too technical for me. Oh well, at least I had a go which is more than my...
I described what it does at my first posting on Saturday. One responder has sent in a pic of what I am looking for (RF Lighting) but I don't know where I can get it. In a nutshell:

We have a dual light switch with one standard switch and one dimmer switch on the same plate. The dimmer switch has failed and I am having trouble finding a replacement like for like plate. Any ideas for suppliers in the UK? A custom made plate would be too £££.
Thanks
