house to shed getting 3core swa round bend of house.

[GBDamo]

Providing the bend you make complies to the max allowable bend radii as described in BS7671.

Radius, surely there is only one correct figure for 6mm three core SWA.

 

[telectrix]

seem to remember it's 4 x the dia. of the cable.

Unless the house is some kinda architectural masterpiece just notch the brick slightly....

sooooo many things wrong with some of these suggestions,but andys got it right,you cant mallet the swa in to a tight bend because you contravene minimum bend radiuses.and you shouldn't be knocking the corners off bricks or drilling holes at 45* because it destroys their weather proof outer layer and they will be crumbling away in no time damaging the property.
The correct way to get an swa or pyro round a 90* corner is this ... works for any external and internal 90* corners... if for some reason it can only go in a straight line round the bend then you will have to put up with a slight bulge in and bulge out..but at least the cable will be undamaged either way.

But bricks are not waterproof and will only have a waterproof layer if it's been chemically added.

I said weatherproof not waterproof.and I'm afraid you are mistaken bricks do have a weatherproof hard outer layer without adding chemicals.....
A quote from bricks & Brass............
Caring for Your Brick Walls.
However, if you have a damp problem, removal is still the best solution. Sand-blasting and other abrasive methods are not safe for most brick walls; they damage the hard outer skin of the brick, allowing erosion of the softer core.
