I have now bought sixteen of these dolly switches over the last few years with another six still to be purchased. They are certainly in keeping with the style of older houses. The construction has changed over the years with plastic replacing the china originally used in the manufacture. The price has also risen considerably. Like Bridget B. I too found “ … the pre-drilled screw holes on the wooden pattress were too far out from the centre, which meant that when the round Dolly switch cover was fitted, you could still see part of the screws at either side…” . This also applies to the square pattress. This is irritating in an otherwise well produced product and would not be difficult for Broughtons to remedy.

Beautifully crafted and the perfect mix of Victorian style and aesthetic with a modern approach. The finish on the brass is everything.

I replaced most of the old brass fronted dolly switches in my house a year or so ago on the basis they were not the safest in terms of design. I decided to do the more tricky ones recently. There has been a marked price hike, but I suppose that applies to most things.
One switch arrived with a broken mechanism, but a replacement was sent without any problem.
The switches look really good. They are well made and solid. They are pretty easy to fit. Broughtons are a decent company to deal with.

I bought the "Round Dolly Light Switch 1 Gang Antique Coppered Black Base" but requested a round wooden pattress instead of the advertised square one. I was pleased with the overall product but when it came to fitting it, I discovered that the pre-drilled screw holes on the wooden pattress were too far out from the centre, which meant that when the round Dolly switch cover was fitted, you could still see part of the screws at either side - these should not have been visible so I was a bit disappointed with the lack of attention to detail for such an expensive item.

We had a lot of antique switches of similar style in the house. They have been easy to replace with these quality and attractive reproduction dolly switches. Obviously the modern interior makes them safe and compliant. They arrived very quickly and the company seem very efficient.

I love these switches. I've been replacing the white plastic ones with these in my flat and they look amazing! Brings a real traditional quality to the rooms. And the service was excellent as well, received them really quickly after placing my order. I would highly recommend this product and using this company.

Years ago I had these in my old house and I’m now replacing the ugly white ones in my new house. They make a big difference to a period property and gorgeous quality. Highly recommended.

Great service - ordered one day, arrived the next. The switches are as good as they look on the website and easy to fit. A definite improvement on white plastic and look very classy. Will definitely order more to finish the job!

This looks great in the hall of our 1700's terraced house. It is good quality and easy to fit. I ordered it on the Monday it arrived and was fitted on the Tuesday. Excellent service.

We have now replaced all our light switches with these products. They are excellent quality and very easy to self stain with wax which means we've matched them to our own colour scheme. We'd highly recommend these items.

The dome dolly switch we purchased is exactly what we wanted. It adds the perfect finishing touch to the summer house we've built in period style, using as much reclaimed materials as and where possible.

I was very pleased with this switch. The quality of its construction was extremely high and fitting was very easy. I intend to buy more switches soon so I can match up and give my home a period feel inside to match its construction.
