We’re replacing all our light switches and plug sockets in our 1930s house with these bakelite switches/sockets. Finally we’re adding some character back into a house that lost it before we owned it.
Hi everyone,
I bought a 1930s house last year that unfortunately had all of its original features removed. We’re painstakingly adding original character back into it, starting with decor and hardware. These are reproduction bakelite light switches with wood plinths. They look great and add that little bit of detail most houses miss. They also make plug sockets in the same style.
Enjoy

Found this in nr/mint condition on ebay 🙂
Hi all,
Long story short, we had this wall plastered and painted originally, but now we need to add a door frame to the left of the photo. There was a door frame there originally as there were two rooms knocked into one before we bought the house. I’m unsure what lies beneath the plaster as the walls are 30s lath/timber construction.
We’re splitting the room up again to create an upstairs bathroom, so will i need to be mindful of anything structural before we start knocking a hole through? Or will a frame header do? Typical ceiling joists in ceiling/loft.
Many thanks!
