    Electrician Jobs Garden electrics, advice and possible work please

    Hi Midwest, Thanks for that, I’ve had a look at the twinwall, is that just like copex contractors pack? I use that for cctv and low voltage stuff. Would I be able to connect this swa to a spur from inside the house? Thanks again

    The sockets would be fixed to a small post, I’d bury the post to a reasonable depth and concrete them in. One of them would probably be inside a waterproof housing where I’d have the transformers for the lights and a WiFi access point, maybe some other bits too.

    Not really, I ran SWA for the stair lights and the sparky connected it all up. I now want sockets in the garden. The builders were too quick for me and I didn’t get the chance to run cables while they were building. I’m having to get it done now as we’re finaly getting to lay slabs. I don’t...

    Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. The sockets will be for lighting, probably only used at nighttime for a couple of hours, basic garden lights, possibly Philips hue. One of the double sockets might have a radio or similar plugged in but none of them will have any significant load. Charlie, do you...

    Patio lighting and outdoor lighting in general.

    Thanks Buzz, was more looking for advice on the cable running and containment. I don't intend to connect up myself. I'm pretty sure I have enough experience to do this stage, just need a bit of help. I guess I'd be better trying to find the regs. Thank again mate.

    Patio lighting and outdoor lighting in general.

    Hey guys, I'm getting an extension and new patio. I want to have some nice lighting but outdoor lighting is a bit new to me. I work with low voltage mostly, alarm engineer. Can I run mains in plastic conduit that will then be concreted over? If not, can I use metal copex or does it have to be...

    Auto diallers + Red care

    Not sure you will be able to fit recare, you will need a central station that it calls back to, unless you do have one? The auto dialer is easy as long as, again, your not calling a central station. In fact, that's probably a better starting point, who do you want the system to call/text?
