Description
This is a single 13A power point on a screwless flat plate, so nothing breaks up the face and there are no screw heads on show. The ice white moulding is bright and slightly cool, and it reads cleanly against fresh emulsion. A chrome insert sits behind the plate, and the socket is switched, with a rocker so you can isolate whatever is plugged in without hauling the plug out.
We reach for a single like this where a double would crowd the wall: at the end of a worktop run for the kettle, beside a chimney breast, behind a bedside table for a lamp and a charger, or in a hallway for the vacuum. The switch earns its keep in bedrooms and studies, where a lamp or a monitor can be shut off at the wall. It suits anyone redoing a room who wants the plates to go quiet rather than draw the eye, and it sits happily with white walls, pale timber and brushed metal handles. We would choose it over a fussier plate in a small room, where every fitting is close to hand and gets looked at.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate, a tough plastic that holds its colour and takes daily knocks from plugs and feet, and the square 88mm face keeps the footprint tight. For cleaning, a cloth wrung out in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid lifts finger marks from around the rocker; keep cream cleaners and solvents off it, as they will dull the surface. It is meant for dry rooms indoors, running on a domestic household supply, and it carries a ten year warranty. Kept consistent across a room, the screwless plate gives walls a flatter, calmer line than a screwed plate ever manages, and it pairs neatly with the chrome fittings many kitchens and bathrooms already have.

Frequently Asked
Is this socket switched?
Yes. It has a rocker switch, so you can turn the power off at the plate rather than unplugging the appliance.
What does 13A mean here?
It is the standard British rating for a household power point, suitable for normal plug-in appliances such as lamps, kettles, chargers and televisions.
How big is the plate?
The face is 88mm square, which is the usual single plate size, so it will line up with other single plates in the same room.
What is the plate made of?
Moulded polycarbonate in an ice white finish, with a chrome insert behind the outer cover.
How should I clean it?
Wipe with a cloth dampened in warm soapy water and dry it off. Avoid abrasive creams, bleach and solvent cleaners, which will leave the white looking cloudy.
Can it be used in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is for dry indoor rooms only.
