As I have needed to do a few installations recently which were all

"In this example a surface box was used to make the transition from the flat T&E cable (switched by a remote stat, in turn fed from a fused connection unit)) to the high temperature butyl rubber flex that feeds the heater."

I would have used a flex outlet plate with a cord grip.

With surface mounted cable needing a back box doesn't that result[1] in
the flex coming out above the surface and so presenting a loop which
could be snagged or requiring a very tight bend radius?

called a "side exit" outlet)
