Poke through floor cover plates

Hi - I am looking for a UK source of floor cover plates for poke through wiring.

I've seen them for commercial trunking systems, but can't find a smaller, simpler variety for home use.

The picture below shows a large commercial version to give you an idea of what I'm looking for. Hope you can help.

Thanks

Screwfix used to sell a system. Was a cutting tool for a drill the cut holes in chipboard flooring, and then plastic bungs to go in the hole IIRC

Thanks for the reply. I have now worked out the smaller, simpler variety are known as "floor grommets" and am starting to get somewhere.

Cheers

I'd be interested to know where you get them from - I could do with a couple.

Cable Grommets UK

Banbury Plastic Fittings

I've no knowledge of these companies, but they seem to have sensible pricing and a good selection.

If anyone knows sources for metal versions I'd be interested to know.

Cheers
