I want to run a power supply to a shed at the end of the garden, 30+ metres away. I was planning on breaking into the existing kitchen ring main, using 4mm SWA up to the shed, to a garage Consumer Unit, and then bringing it back again to complete the ring main. I have some difficulty in getting to the original consumer unit, so was considering this a simpler option.I'm okay with the practicalities but not the technicalities and am aware it would be subject to part P testing.
Q. Is it safe/legal. Your thoughts/opinions please? If it's a no-brainer, let me know and I will re-consider the next option which is:
If I do start back from the original consumer unit, and take a lead all the way up the garden, what size SWA would you recommend? The loading in the shed is likely to be a couple of 13A sockets, a 2KW heater, a radio and some low voltage lighting (It's a nice shed)?
Thank you
