    Garden shed - power from the house

    Hi, I've recently moved house and have some questions on the existing wiring setup for the cable to the shed. The house has had a recent extension but the certificate and documents do not explicitly mention the cable to/and the shed so I can only assume that was not tested at the time. The...

    Look what the supply company buried in my garden! (The result of years of argument - don't give up!)

    I have for years been trying to get my existing split-phase supply upgraded to three phase. The DNO sent me a succession of ridiculous quotes, all around the £25K mark.
