Can anyone tell me where to get the longest "accessory screws" for fixing 13a socket fronts to a recessed pattress box. I have recently had a wall re-plasterboarded and tiled. A 50mm screw is just about 15 mm too short.
Any ideas ?

Have you looked in the MK catalogue? Or asked at your local electrical wholesaler?
 
MK do screw extensions - they are primarily for the old grid range, but work fine with any M3.5 screw.

Really, you should have brought the boxes forward, especially if a void has been created between the two finishes.

Or any fixings supplier you care to name - they are standard M3.5 screws, raised countersunk, BZP or CP.
