Im considering my options for fitting an outside socket for the garden.

If I was to take a spur from a socket on the inside wall and drill through, would the 2.5mm Twin and E cable between the two sockets need to be fed through conduit or trunking? Or can I simply run it through the wall?

Thanks
 
As above but a short stab of conduit takes away the chance of cable damage from any sharp points on the bricks.
 
Not a requirement of the regs. Daz
I think I've asked this before but why do you call every single member Daz :confused:
It would be nice if you could make the effort to try and remember a few of our names. :)

My memory has become full over the years and so I can only remember one name now. Unfortunately it is my own. Luckily every so often I meet another 'Daz' so it becomes appropriate.

I shall desist from ending my posts with my name if you prefer. Daz (woops)
 
I'd slide a section of conduit in the hole. Partly its easier to get the cable through as they can't get into the gap. Second reduces the risk of any building work higher up causing debris to fall and damage cables.
 
No keep using it. Daz;)
 
Thanks for all the replies guys! And ill make sure to keep an eye out for those pesky hamsters! ;)
it's nothampsters that are of concern. it's all them Daz's on the loose.:mad:

And if it's a garage then use metal clad accessories.
