Use something like this along with a short extention lead. You definitely need to be able to close the plug flap.

You beat me to it. If OP needs this urgently, you can buy them in Wickes, B&Q and Wilkos, often bundled with an extension lead.

Yeh exactly what we have. Dribox with short extension. Also means we can plug multiple things into the one plug if we choose.

Be warned that if you buy this one from Amazon, it will defiantly turn up broken. I had 3 delivered before getting it in one piece.

Yeah. That was just a suggestion anyway. I’d use a brand name. And get it from Toolstation or some such.

In fairness, the item itself was not too bad quality and it works well. But it’s made of plastic and came in a cardboard box the exact size of the item with no padding. So any pressure on the package, like being thrown in a van with 400 other items, resulted in cracked plastic.
