What brand are these

[eollou88]

Hi guys and girls,
Just wanted to know if anyone has come across this grid switches before?
My wholesalers has no idea, and no name on the switches anywhere.

Thanks in advance

They look like Crabtree. But I wouldn't think you will be able to buy them anymoee unless you loom on somewhere like ebay.

If they are Crabtree they are available but scarce.

The print on the back looks very much like what crabtree do, thats just what I am basing my guess on

Do you know of any other grid switches that I can use instead? That will fit the back box without removing? Only because it's behind the plaster board, screwed to breeze block. So a bit of hard to remove.

Could possibly be Hamilton Grid, try Denmans :smilewinkgrin:

going by the wiring colours, they can't have been in that long.

I think they have only been in 8 months it's a new build of flats, the customer said they were buzzing like crazy and then 1 appliance stopped working. He had another 2 "electricians" that went in before me and apparently got it working but when The customer came home he was even more in shock because another 2 appliances weren't working.

I don't really want to replace like for like as this will happen again.

I thought the same looking at the backs of them and a quick search

Hamilton GRID-IT Grid Fix Inserts with Black Trim Grid Range, UK Electrical Supplies

The back box if recessed should be fine to use with another make of grids.

If this is a new build the owner / occupier should be straight on to the main contractors to get this sorted.

I was in fire station last week and old bank of grid switches and few switches not working, apparently can't get no more so have build a box and add new plate.

They different size , ring any bells anyone

Its not the back box to be vary of its the shape and size of the switches and the holes in the front plate. Be prepared to replace the lot and the front plate!

 

[eollou88]

Well his property managers have given him the ok for me to deal with it, can't complain works work at the end of the day.
Thanks Sintra the box is recessed with just the faceplate against the plasterboard, I usually just change the lot when replacing grids so I have never noticed.
