Just do not do what I saw at one time.

Oh we want power to the shed, we will use Henley blocks, well I think I will just wire the SWA into the Henley block.

Protection for the cable whats that?
Glanding SWA whats that?
Earthing the armour whats that?

and they proudly told me they were not in the habit of putting their family at risk!

There's a lad near me set up his own building firm,Bodgit and Scarper I think it's called,anyway he asked me to do a ticket on a garage that he'd just worked on basically a domestic garage split in half across the middle and the back end made into a small room,the walls were drylined.Anyway the first thing was an armoured cable coming out of the house via a hole in the window frame,this went to a plastic Proteus CU in the garage,no glands just stuffed in through a large hole in the bottom,2 cables came out one 2.5 T&E on a 30A fuse a radial feeding 3 twin sockets,on plastic boxes set into the wall,the 1mm off a 5A fuse went to a jb then split to feed a florry and 6 downlights,the cables were just strung anywhere with not a clip in sight,needless to say he'd never heard of sleeving for earths.I looked it over,no need for testing then shook my head and walked off,the homeowner came over and asked if there was something wrong and what the best way would be to put it right,she took it well when I said the best way was to start again,well better than I would anyway.lol.For weeks afterwards I had the guy ringing me up and saying that since I was a mate couldn't I just tweak it and give him a ticket.
 
Henley block into a consumer unit to supply the shed depending on the route your taking i wouldnt RCD protect the cable going to the shed, calculate the cable that is suitable. Fit a RCD consumer unit in the shed and away you go if there is no extranaous metalwork.

I dont know why you would tell her your not doing the work if she doesnt have a consumer unit change as it sounds like a nice little job.
