    Electrician Jobs Garden electrics, advice and possible work please

    Hi Midwest, Thanks for that, I’ve had a look at the twinwall, is that just like copex contractors pack? I use that for cctv and low voltage stuff. Would I be able to connect this swa to a spur from inside the house? Thanks again

    The sockets would be fixed to a small post, I’d bury the post to a reasonable depth and concrete them in. One of them would probably be inside a waterproof housing where I’d have the transformers for the lights and a WiFi access point, maybe some other bits too.

    Not really, I ran SWA for the stair lights and the sparky connected it all up. I now want sockets in the garden. The builders were too quick for me and I didn’t get the chance to run cables while they were building. I’m having to get it done now as we’re finaly getting to lay slabs. I don’t...

    Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. The sockets will be for lighting, probably only used at nighttime for a couple of hours, basic garden lights, possibly Philips hue. One of the double sockets might have a radio or similar plugged in but none of them will have any significant load. Charlie, do you...

    Hi guys, I need to run some power in my garden. Depending on what’s required I might be looking for an electrician to do the work. The cable run is about 30m and I want around 4 double sockets along it. The questions are, Can I spur it from an existing internal socket? Keeping the spur on the...

    Thanks Buzz, was more looking for advice on the cable running and containment. I don't intend to connect up myself. I'm pretty sure I have enough experience to do this stage, just need a bit of help. I guess I'd be better trying to find the regs. Thank again mate.

    Hey guys, I'm getting an extension and new patio. I want to have some nice lighting but outdoor lighting is a bit new to me. I work with low voltage mostly, alarm engineer. Can I run mains in plastic conduit that will then be concreted over? If not, can I use metal copex or does it have to be...
