shed sockets

[thekingiam]

giving advice on something as serious as this might put you or your family at risk of death, we on here have undergone years of training so as in to be able to do this work effectively and safely.
and i don't think this forum is to show the general public how to break the law and put themselves and the public at harm.

I give up!! The point that you shouldn't be doing it doesn't appear to be heard!!

The forum has given it's best advice...... get an electrician in that knows what he is doing that will do the job safely and legally.
We cannot advise someone who we think may be a danger to themselves....for legal and moral reasons.
Please take heed.

I said the lawn is new so don't wanna take that up so what other way of doing it is there?

.......

 

[thekingiam]

I have a recently lawn laid down in between the house n shed n don't want to dig that up so what are my options?

This is the equivalent of "I've just had my house redecorated throughout. Now I want a rewire/extra sockets/etc. What are my options?" :lol:

How about a nice new concrete path down to the shed, with the cable buried at a suitable depth below?

This is not a wind up, just someone trying to get some help n advice on how to do something as I can't afford to get someone in. I explained exactly what I did to wire the house to the electrician n he said it was very good n all to regs. Ive been an electrical mate before whch is why i had a good idea of how to wire the basics in a house. I just haven't done anything exterior before. I've phoned a few electrical companies who have given me quotes n said I'd basically need a 2.5mm armoured for this job n length of run. I said the lawn is new so don't wanna take that up so what other way of doing it is there?

You've been given the best advice there is....Don't break the Law. It really is that simple, regardless of what you may think.

Thanks for answering the question I asked about cable selection, the answer is obviously ring a contractor and do what they plucked out of thin air. In 30 years in the trade I don't think I have ever discussed what cable I propose to use with a client, them asking the question would immediately start alarm bells ringing with me.

Best policy here is to stop responding beyond this point guys....

I tried, I ended up saying "dead shock it". Seems relevant somehow.
