I have a number of double an single power sockets that were fitted many years ago, the sockets do not have switches. they are fixed in place with screws top and bottom, where as all the new sockets are fixed with screws at the side. Is there any way of converting these boxes (set in the wall) so that I can replace the sockets with modern switched ones without fitting new boxes, with all the mess and redecoration involved

Thanks,
I am looking for a conversion method, without removing the boxes as they are in a old stone and rubble wall, so replaving the boxes is difficult
