This is the Evoges EVODM1GPBW 1 Gang 45° Angled Surface Mount Pattress Back Box – Wall/Workbench Electrical Box available at SparksDirect.co.uk for the best price.
The 1 Gang 45° Angled Surface Mount Pattress Back Box is a purpose-built accessory for mounting standard electrical switches, socket outlets, or accessory plates on flat surfaces where traditional flush mounting isn’t practical — such as solid walls, work benches, garage walls, timber surfaces, or utility spaces. Its distinctive 45° angled front face positions the accessory towards the user, making controls and sockets easier to reach and operate, especially in low-level or horizontal installation locations.
Unlike recessed back boxes that require cutting or chasing into walls, this surface-mount pattress box fixes externally using screws, saving time and reducing installation disruption. Finished in white thermoplastic, it gives a clean, professional look and is compatible with standard UK accessory faceplates, making it a flexible choice for electricians, installers, and DIYers tackling retrofits and new installations alike.

Who Can Install It
This surface mount pattress back box can be fitted by a qualified electrician or competent electrical DIYer. Installation involves fixing the box securely onto the surface with supplied screws, routing cables through knock-outs, and then attaching the chosen accessory faceplate and switch/socket. Always ensure the electrical supply is isolated before commencing wiring work, and that final connections comply with UK wiring regulations.
Installation Tip
Mark the desired location and ensure the angled face is oriented toward the user’s line of sight for ergonomic control use — particularly useful on work benches or low-level walls where straight-on access isn’t ideal.
