Title: Are there 20mm deep floor sockets on the market?

Putting a floor socket in our kitchen and the floor is already down. Unfortunately the 25mm backbone overlaps the floorboard slightly (concrete base underneath). Anyone know of any 20mm deep floor sockets as I'm struggling to find them online. Thanks in advance.

I might be wrong but..

The earth pin on the 13A plug I just measured is 22mm long so is a 20mm deep socket possible? I suppose it might be if you allow 2mm for the face plate?
