Tony,

Thanks, I'd heard that some of the QED wall controls were deep. I've=20
found 47mm deep singles from TLC (www.tlc-direct.co.uk) for =A30.89 ea,=20
+ vat (product code AP618) and doubles at =A31.40 ea, + vat (code=20
AP628).=20

For stud walls they also do drylining backboxes, 45mm deep: singles=20
=A30.88 ea, + vat (code MT MDLB5) & doubles for =A31.85 ea, + vat
(code=20
MT MDLB4).

Thanks again,

Tim.
