Any sparkys here? - Need help running power to new shed

No you got it I'm a Spark, the worlds most thankless trade! "Oh great I have come home to a house with all my wallpaper ruined and plaster knocked off the walls!"
As posted above a suitable extension lead protected by an RCD and run out when needed is the cheap safe option until you can afford to have the job done correctly.
(however I still suspect a bloke from the pub will do it!)
I am employed by a company and therefore I don't need additional work but I would recommend a local electrician, they don't all charge an arm and a leg! After all we are in a recession and I am sure many will be glad of the work.

That's ok mate.. I'm a Electrician also ;).

What you are saying is true. When he gets the price from a company he wont bother though.

He could just as easily do all the donkey work himself and then get someone into connect and test.

It's not the most thankless trade really. Most people I do work for are over the moon when the job is complete.

hmm
Wouldn't the proper way be to run T&E from the consumer unit to the appropriate external wall, 1-2 way CU passing SWA outside to the shed and then IP56 sockets out there?
Or T&E to the external wall, junction box to connect the SWA to an IP65 CU in the shed and IP56 sockets as required?
