Roo Neutrals Socket
From £79.00
From a small team of makers in Bohemia come these charming round porcelain sockets. Katy Paty have perfected a special process of dyeing porcelain – the Roo Neutrals range features earthy, natural shades of greys and browns.
Our Katy Paty sockets are only available as unswitched singles. They do need a single European back box but can be installed next to each other, if a double socket is required.
IMPORTANT
Because of its round backplate shape, this switch doesn't fit the regular British square or rectangular wall boxes. The corners of the back box (or the hole the switch is going into) WILL SHOW.
It is perfectly possible to fit a European-style round back box, which the backplate will cover. We sell these boxes here. But this will require electrical work and decorating/plastering to make good the new wall box.
Please be aware that we don't accept returns of this product after 14 days if you find that the necessary installation/decorating work is too extensive. We kindly ask that you and your electrician make sure that they are aware of the back box incompatibility before ordering this product.
What you need to know
What’s in the box?
You will receive a modular socket set, consisting of a socket insert, a round 1-gang frame and a front plate with fixing screws.

What does an electrician call this?
Where is this used in the home?
A 1-gang 2-way switch is commonly used for controlling a single light source from one or two places. A 1-gang intermediate is used as the middle switch of three, controlling a single light source (for example in a hallway).
Installation
Katy Paty switches require a bit more patience to wire up, simply because they are modelled on original designs and don’t have the modern conveniences of push-contacts and encapsulated backplates.
Just follow the step-by-step pictures below or go to our Katy Paty switch installation page. Don’t forget you need a European round box for this product!
Please refer to our Installation section for more installation advice, manuals and helpful videos.
Dimensions
Does this cover a standard UK back box?
No, a 70mm round back box is required. Check the available options below.
How deep does the back box need to be?
This needs a slightly deeper box, at least 35mm.
a happy switch
The detail
The form of this switch is circles within circles, undulating rounds of carefully sculptured porcelain create spiralled surfaces for light to dance on – these switches sparkle. The steel screws on the face of the switch are perfectly placed to create symmetry and framing for the rocker, which adds to the classic feel. The porcelain is glossy (although a matt range is coming soon), homely and tactile, and the switch mechanism delivers a satisfying ‘chink’ as you press the rocker to illuminate your room.
Katy Paty's switches are hand-made artisan products, so you might find slight imperfections and colour variations. But that just adds to the quirky luxury of having these pieces on your walls.
