The backbox on one of my double sockets in the kitchen hasn't been sunk enough into the wall by the kitchen fitters. Whilst this wasn't a problem when there was tiles on the wall, I've removed the tiles and the metal box is a couple of mm proud of the wall.
What they've done is cut back the plaster to fit the box, but there's brick behind the plaster, which is obviously why they only went as far as the plaster.
With the best will in the world, I don't have the energy to try and chisel back the brick to make it flush with the wall - soooooooo I thought about using a shallower back box - the current one is 25mm - but I can't seem to find a shallower 2 gang back box - anyone know if there is such a thing?
