    Electricity/Water and Broadband cable to shed

    Hi, I have got amour covered electricity and Broadband cable ready to be buried in the garden to run supply to my shed. And I am going to run water up there as well. My plumber said I need 25mm water MDPE pipe. So I thought it would be good to get threes times the amount and use as...

    Power to garden shed

    I've looked around on here and have seen a lot of chat about this issue, but nothing that answers my specific question. I'm not an electrician, so rest assured (when the time is right) I will be calling one in. My question is this: Would it be acceptable to, rather than dig a trench to bury...

    Off grid solar shed setup by a non electrician

    I'll set the scene. I'm not an electrician, I have no relevant qualifications but I do have experience with Solar PV (loosely) having had a system installed for some year and various other PV related items. So I'm in the process of setting up my shed with some off grid power, for no reason...

    Shed and jacuzzi advice

    Hi, I’ve been asked to install lighting and 3 sockets (one of which is for a fridge) in a wooden shed. Due to location of consumer unit the only feesable option is to use the feed from the Jacuzzi which is on the non RCD side of the CU using a 40A MCB with 10mm Twin & Earth cable and own...

    A dedicated 20A type C MCB located in the consumer unit in my house feeds power to my detached brick-built double garage via an underground armoured cable. This MCB is one of a group that is controlled by an 80A RCD. There is no additional MCB protection within the garage. The incoming...

    Wooden shed heat detector

    Hi, I have been asked advice on installing a smoke detector inside a small wooden shed at the bottom of a garden, which is currently used for spray tanning. I have said that a smoke detector will be of no use as the mist from the machine will constantly sound the alarm. I thought I could fit an...

    Electrical connection to shed

    This is possibly quite simple. I am not an electrician but am good at digging holes, I need electric running to my shed so I can put a freezer in it, how deep should the trench be (I am guessing 2 spits depth) so I can cut the most labour intensive part of the job as much as possible...
