The light (1mm) and gpos (2.5mm) are run to the house...

I thought that I posted this in the DIY part of the forum but I believe I did not. I am sorry about that.
I put in a 10' x 20' metal shed about 9 years ago. It is about 200' ~ 70 meters from my house. It is on a 6" concrete pad. At the time of pouring the pad I put a conduit through the...
Hi,
I purchased these from Amazon about a year ago. They worked okay then stopped working. There is a few alternatives to buy but are very similar and wondered instead if I could figure out what is wrong with them I could fix them...
I use my shed for pottery and it’s currently wired to have 2 sockets and a light switch (fused down from one of the sockets). Currently I draw less than 300 watts of power. As it’s getting cold I’d like to plug in a heater out there but my husband says it’s not a good idea as my shed isn’t...
At my board everything is RCD protected.
I have built a shed off the side of the house, I was going to drill through into the house in order to supply my shed with a socket and some lights.
I'm not bothered about effort/mess/cost here - purely whatever is safest, so a few questions if anyone...

Hi guys,
Wondering if you could give any advice. Started a job today doing a shed install. They want a 6mm swa supply. The original plan was to come off of an MCB in the fusebox but it’s not going to be very accessible without too much damage.
Is there any ideas in what I could do in the meter...

Hi everyone, I've been asked to install a consumer unit in a summer house with circuits for light and power. The owner has already laid SWA, buried it, the 20m from main consumer unit, in 6mm. It won't need anything like that though, it'll be supplying a few DIY power tools, maybe a heater and...
