Come to Aus, single and double power outlets fit on the same box as the mounting holes are the same,

Thanks for all the replies. Some of the comments are useful, some not. I thought the idea of a forum was to get constructive comments not condescending ones? I don't mind a bit of banter at all but I object to being called a cowboy. If you have nothing useful to say then don't bother making comments like that. It may be of amusement to you and your other keyboard warrior mates but not to me and other sensible people on here. Ever thought the customer may not have been there long and also that they have asked for them to be a little higher? If you want to slag me off or call me things just send me a message and we will deal with it.

I’ll correct an omission in the other posts.
After reading you’re proposal for extending the cable “you are a cowboy”.

As for the blank plate idea that is going to look atrocious, once done you can walk away. The customer will have to look at it.

If you were looking to wind people you’ve succeeded with me.

At the end of the day, it's the customers decision.

NOT for the elecrician (cowboy) to dictate.

I should retake that customer care course again!

Does anyone ever fit single sockets then? why have 1 when you could have 2?
