Hi
We just moved into this house and in the utility room there is a normal wall socket with a plug going up ontop of a wall unit and into a very old junction box where it changes to a weather shielded cable & out the wall, along the side of a fence and into a doublesocket weathproof box, as per the attached photos. There used to be a garden water pump attached, but we filled in the ponds and now this socket is only ever used for an electric lawn mower
The housing is broken so I want to replace it, I also want to get a socket to the opposite side of the garden & maybe into the shed so I might as well do all at the same time.
Is it safe just to continue that spur & have external speakers, lawnmower on it? should I put a fused spur after this broken/replaced socket for shed/speakers etc.
Potentially & in a few years if we upgrade the shed to a garden room would this spur be viable?
thanks
