The Ghost

I am trying to find a solution to blanking off floor socket boxes. This is made difficult by the fact the boxes have absolutely no brand name on them anywhere, and the size is not standard. I thought of getting a strong enough plate to screw on to the existing box and the the carpet man can come in and cover it over.
Any thoughts of knowledge of such a mission impossible?

I found the above which will do for one of them however the other is a weird size like
197mm x 245mm. I know what you mean with the suspended floors and powertrack etc. but this is not that type of building.
Looking at composite carbon fibre but wrong thickness need 5mm thick to accomodate carpet laying in it. I have tried to avoid this job but it keeps coming back to haunt me.
