Any electricians here please?

would do me but i just use extension as kirky says  simple  ;D ;D ;D ;D

 

doing it for insurance  you need  a commissioner  and  not many sparks  have that   status

i bought a 25 meter reel extencion from wilkisons £10 job done, just plug in at house and i have 4 plug sockets at the other end in loft.

 

That is what I was wanting to do. I am sorry my question caused so much hassle for the mods, it wasnt meant to.

Thanks to all who took the time to answer.

As hard as it may seem guys  Mick is 1 million % correct . A bit frustrating I know but if he or some else gave advice then you thought OH this is what he meant then it's goodnight and then how will they feel when being on the site . So comon lads give them a bit of respect and try to understand where they are coming from.

 

Thanks Dave

its simple to get an extension and use that. but the electricians are right. get a professional. its safer and its done right.

i just used my old shower cable jointed in house loft to a consumer unit in pigeon loft with some swa cable no probs...running on a 40amp @ home board to consumer unit

If you are going to just run an extension then buy yourself a caravan hook up cable if its going to be left outside as they are waterproof.

But best to take above advice and get an electrition to put you a seperate circuit/ring outside then you know it will be safe and you won't risk overloading it.

whats the problem, the electrician just checks what the  guys

done the connects to the meter and if its for insurance  commissions a certificate   is that no the case

 

Id lay a pound to a penny that 99% of DIY shed installations would not pass a test and inspection. Even some pro's get it wrong. Next time you are in a library look out the IEE (BS7671) regulations and have a "quick" read.

 

If only it was as simple as some people think.

 

To Foxesfans4ever, i have offered my advice, consult a professional, that advice will not kill anyone. You could also take the amateur advice given on here (of which electrically, NONE is correct) but possibly could kill someone!

 

If anyone is using any outside sockets just make sure there is a 30 mA (milliAmp) RCD unit somewhere in the circuit feeding the socket.

Mick you are correct there . power outside is subject to water and moisture

 

and should only be carried out properly .
