Supplied as a complete set with a matching 25mm pattress box, everything you need arrives together — no separate back box required, no guesswork on compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eWhy Surface Mount?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eSurface mounting is often the most sensible approach — particularly in solid-wall properties, outbuildings, garages, conservatories, and anywhere that chasing a cavity into the wall isn't feasible or desirable. The 25mm surface pattress box provides the depth needed to house the wiring neatly, keeping the installation clean and flush against the wall without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eRocker Switch for Convenient Control\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eThe single outlet is controlled by a rocker switch, allowing you to cut power to a connected appliance without removing the plug. It's a small but genuinely useful feature for lamps, chargers, appliances, or any equipment you want to switch off independently at the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eWhere a Single Socket Makes Sense\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eA 1 gang socket is the right choice where only one outlet is needed — dedicated appliance points, single-use locations, or where space on the wall is limited. It gives you a neat, purposeful installation without an oversized faceplate where it isn't needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eDesigned to Look the Part\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eThe round edge profile and white finish sit unobtrusively in modern interiors. Whether you're adding a single socket to a bedroom, utility room, or outbuilding, the SHPELEC aesthetic is consistent and considered — matching cleanly with other white electrical accessories across your property.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eStandards That Matter\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eThis socket is \u003cstrong\u003eBS 1363 approved\u003c\/strong\u003e — the core UK standard governing 13A socket-outlets.

This listing includes both the white 13A 1 gang switched socket faceplate and a matching 25mm surface mount pattress box. It is a complete kit — no separate back box required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat is the difference between a 1 gang and a 2 gang socket?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eA 1 gang socket has a single outlet, while a 2 gang (or double) socket has two outlets on the same faceplate. This product is a 1 gang socket, providing one switched 13A plug point from a single back box. If you need two outlets in the same location, see the SHPELEC White 2 Gang Switched Socket with 25mm Surface Mount Pattress Box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5 style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eWhat does surface mount mean?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eSurface mounting means the socket and back box are fitted directly onto the surface of a wall, rather than being recessed into it. This makes it ideal for solid walls, outbuildings, garages, and retrofit installations where chasing into the wall is not practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eIs this socket approved to UK standards?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eYes. This socket is BS 1363 approved — the UK standard for 13A socket-outlets — and is both UKCA marked and CE marked, confirming compliance for use and sale in the United Kingdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eCan I use this socket in a garage or outbuilding?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eYes. Surface mount sockets are a popular choice for garages, workshops, outbuildings, and garden rooms. Ensure the installation is carried out in accordance with current wiring regulations (BS 7671).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eIs this suitable for a landlord or rental property?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eYes. Its UKCA marking and BS 1363 approval make it a sound choice for residential rental properties, HMOs, and buy-to-let refurbishments subject to electrical safety regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eCan a competent DIYer fit this socket?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eSurface-mounted sockets are among the more accessible fixed electrical tasks for a competent DIYer in England and Wales, provided the work complies with Part P of the Building Regulations. If in any doubt, use a qualified electrician. In Scotland, all fixed electrical work must be carried out by a qualified person.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHP Electrical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54878017421692,"sku":"SHPW1SOC\/PB125","price":2.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0518\/0736\/files\/51nQfiAvHmL._SL1500.jpg?v=1736939149","url":"https:\/\/www.shpelec.co.uk\/products\/white-1-gang-switched-socket-25mm-surface-mount-pattress-box","provider":"SHP Electrical ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
