hello.
Dejavu for some folk, but here’s the scenario:

My house is two-storey brick, my shed is 10’x3’ (odd size I know, but the back yard is small) made entirely of wood, no metal at all.
The gap between the house wall and shed is 300-400mm.
At present there is no power to the shed, so I have to run an extension lead from the lounge if I want to use anything.
The only power tools I use in the shed is a vacuum cleaner, power drill, and maybe a small bandsaw if I buy one.
My questions are:
Can I run a spur off the upstairs RFC, run it under the floorboards, through the brick wall and conduit down to the shed?
I’m aware that non-fused spur can only have 1 single or double socket outlet, where fused spur is unlimited(BS7671).
If yes, then what’s the best conduit to use?
And as for the bends, I don’t want to have to hack out a lot of brick to accommodate for the bend radius. Are there 90 degree elbow fittings for outside use?
Thanks I’m advance
:)

I don't see an issue, just use a double pole FCU. just use galv as pvc will obv sag
 
An IP rated adaptable box fixed to the outside wall would look neater and gland your SWA into that. Then just bring your supply from your house to the adaptable box. And a short stab of conduit into the back of the box with a bush and coupler to protect cable through wall if your feeling fancy.
