The full range of switches and sockets

This is the broad umbrella for wiring accessories across the home, gathering everything that sits on the wall and carries power or signal. It spans 13A single and double sockets, many with USB-A and USB-C fast charging built in, alongside dimmer and retractive switches, two-way and double-pole switches, shaver sockets, cooker switches, pull cord switches for bathrooms and RCD-protected sockets. TV, network and flex outlet plates and fused spurs round out the range, so a whole room can be specified from one place.

Finishes to match any scheme

Finishes run from matt white for quiet, low-key schemes through to chrome, brass, black nickel, smoked bronze and anthracite for rooms where the plate is meant to be seen. White-on-white keeps kitchens and hallways neat, while a darker or metallic plate gives a kitchen island or feature wall more presence. Most finishes carry across the socket, switch and dimmer types, so a room can stay consistent from the lighting circuit to the worktop sockets.

Plate styles and how they fit

Plate styles cover square edge, rounded edge and screwless designs. Square and rounded plates use visible fixing screws, while screwless plates clip over a frame for a cleaner face with no screw heads on show. Picking one style and sticking to it through a room or whole property keeps the look tidy, and matching the plate to the back box already in the wall makes fitting straightforward.

Choosing the right type

Start with what each position needs to do. Lighting points take a switch or dimmer, with retractive and two-way types for stairs and multi-point control. Worktops and desks suit double sockets, often with USB charging to free up the mains pins. Bathrooms use pull cords and shaver sockets, and kitchens lean on cooker switches and fused spurs for fixed appliances.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between single-pole and double-pole switching?

Single-pole (SP) breaks the live conductor only, which is standard for ordinary lighting switches. Double-pole (DP) breaks both live and neutral, giving full isolation, and is used on cooker switches, shaver sockets and appliance switches. The range lists SP and DP options, with 45A double-pole cooker and pull cord switches for higher loads.

Which sockets have USB charging, and what is the difference between USB-A and USB-C?

Many 13A single and double sockets include USB charging. USB-A is the older flat connector, while USB-C is the smaller reversible type that supports faster charging, with some plates offering 65W USB-C output. There are dual USB-A, dual USB-C and combined USB-A and USB-C plates to match the devices you charge most.

Which switches and sockets suit a bathroom?

Bathrooms call for pull cord switches, which keep the operating point away from water, and shaver sockets with dual-voltage 115V/230V output. Both feature in the range. Position depends on the zones around the bath and basin, so for bathroom wiring it is best to have a qualified electrician confirm what suits each spot.

What dimmer should I choose for dimmable LED bulbs?

Look at the intelligent dimmers, listed from one to four gang with an LED range such as 5-150W and an overall 5-400W rating. Trailing edge dimmers also suit most dimmable LEDs. Add up the wattage of the bulbs on the circuit, keep within the dimmer's LED band, and confirm your bulbs are marked dimmable.

What is a fused spur, and when do I need one?

A fused spur is a fixed point that feeds an appliance through its own fuse, used for items like heaters, towel rails and cooker hoods. The range includes switched fused spurs and 20A flex outlet plates for connecting fixed flex. As these involve fixed wiring, a qualified electrician should carry out the connection.
