No earth in garage - should I be worried?

Hi,

We recently moved into a new house about 6 months ago and all of the plug socket wiring seems to have the standard, live, neutral and earth wiring as one would expect. However, go out into the garage (separated from the house) and it appears to only have Live and Neutral wiring (old style red and black respectively).

I only found this out recently after changing the facia and backbox to a plastic one as the old one was metal and rusted only to find 2 wires.

My question is, should I be worried and should I get an electrician to come out and quote to rewrite the garage? It seems like a big job as it looks like the wiring goes under ground potentially and is concreted in.

Thanks for any advice.
