Power to shed. Thoughts?

[buzzlightyear]

I've not got my Regs book to hand so I'd have to look into the rules behind that

a brain comes to mind!

you could have tied up first before you took the pic .
standards you know.

It's not my house, and I just stopped by to have a look at what there was to work with and I definitely wasn't there to help them with their spring cleaning!

Can you remove the crown molding fitted to the Kitchen cabinets and run the cable in the void?

Looked at that and the cupboards at the top are full length and go right to the ceiling, look custom made so no sneaky void hiding up top by the looks of things sadly!

Well there is some sort of extra wood fastened to the face of those cabinets

I with @Leesparkykent, fish it under the plinths and through the wall. Solid board cutter route will be just as good, there are blanks specifically designed for the cut out. Export the TNCS as its a perfectly expectable method, just make sure if its PME that there isnt any extraneous bonding in the new shed. Make sure there not going to ask for Infrared heaters as your 4mm will struggle.

one find the socket in the utility area extend to outer wall .
fuse spur in side car case
one gav stop end box outer wall swa and extend to new shed job done .
or ring a friend.

Brilliant, thanks very much everyone, lots of food for thought on how to get to done! I'll take a look at getting it under the plinths, I'll hopefully get this done in the "near" future and show you how it went!

Thanks, @Pete999 , @Leesparkykent , @telectrix , @buzzlightyear , @tomspark93 , @LankyWill for your input and experienced advice, very much appreciated!

Let us know how you get over the problem

To be honest I am not 100% sure on the rules behind exporting the PME, I was under the impression it wasn't allowed? .

What has given you this impression?
Do you do all of your installation design based on impressions and myths?

Just work to the 18th Ed - export the earth AND install a rod...............

 

[telectrix]

now, now, murdoch. you don't export it, you just extend it.

As Tomspark mentions - if the 'bar' will only be a small load and it is a pain to route the SWA, then run from a FCU in the house spurred off skt ring. There is a IET Wiring Matters regards this very arrangement - see attached.

Otherwise, unless there specific bonding requirements in the shed i.e. copper water pipe, Jacuzzi; then run a 3C SWA (suggest > 2.5mm^2) - no need for a dedicated rod. (Subject to how far away 'bar' is from house ideally less than 10mtr)

Excellent reading! Thank you for providing it, and your advice.
